Controlling the Wettability of ZnO Thin Films by Spray Pyrolysis for Photocatalytic Applications

Muhammad Rabeel et al.

Summary: In this study, zinc oxide thin films were synthesized on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis method to prepare self-cleaning glass. The process parameters were optimized to improve photocatalytic performance and surface properties. It was found that samples deposited at 250 degrees C had higher crystallinity and hydrophobicity, while using a 2 mL solution resulted in better surface coverage and roughness. Additionally, the spray distance controlled the particle size distribution and surface coverage of the samples.

Deep eutectic solvents as absorbents for VOC and VOC mixtures in static and dynamic processes

Tarek Moufawad et al.

Summary: This study evaluates deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as absorbents for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Through static and dynamic processes, it is found that DESs have high absorption capacities for a variety of VOCs, without saturation even at high concentrations. One particular DES showed a maximum enhancement of absorption reaching 60000-fold for different VOCs at different temperatures. Additionally, the absorbent's capacity remained unchanged after multiple absorption/desorption cycles or water removal.

Highly sensitive and selective triethylamine gas sensor based on hierarchical radial CeO2/ZnO n-n heterojunction

Shuang Li et al.

Summary: Heterojunction formation between CeO2 and ZnO led to a tenfold increase in selective TEA gas response compared to pure ZnO, with excellent sensitivity, fast response/recovery times, and stable repeatability for at least 60 days. The unique hierarchical radial morphology of CeO2/ZnO n-n heterojunction provided abundant accessible active sites, facilitating surface reactions and diffusion of target gas molecules, resulting in enhanced TEA sensing performance.

Highly efficient toluene gas sensor based on spinel structured hollow urchin-like core-shell ZnFe2O4 spheres

Hao Zhang et al.

Summary: A facile solvothermal method was employed to synthesize hollow urchin-like core-shell spinel structured ZnO/ZnFe2O4 composite and pure ZnFe2O4 sensing material. Different ratios of Zn to Fe in the precursor resulted in different final components of the products. Gas sensors based on these materials exhibited high gas response to toluene, with the pure ZnFe2O4 sensor showing a lower operating temperature and higher gas response. The sensing mechanism was analyzed in detail in combination with BET and XPS results.
