This study developed a series of Ce doped TiO2 nanocrystals for ammonia detection at room temperature, showing high performance in terms of response, detection limit, selectivity, repeatability, and stability. The enhanced sensing mechanism was explained by the synergetic effects of re-orientated high energy facets, oxygen vacancy, and large specific surface area. Furthermore, the practical application potential in fish freshness detection was also evaluated.
Room-temperature gas sensors with high performance have shown unexpected potential in practical application. This work developed a series of Ce doped TiO2 nanocrystals via microwave-assisted solvothermal method for detecting ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. All the samples presented small-size nanocrystals and good crystallinity. The 0.43 at% Ce-TiO2 nanocrystals with a large specific surface area of 266.9 m(2).g(- 1) exhibited the distinguished NH3 sensing performance at room temperature, including high response (23.99 @ 20 ppm), low limit of detection (140 ppb), superior selectivity, repeatability, and operating stability. The enhanced sensing mechanisms were explained by the synergetic strategy of re-orientated high energy facets, oxygen vacancy and large specific surface area, which boost the surface activity and charge transfer efficiency. The enhanced sensing mechanism was further verified through DFT calculations. Moreover, the practical application potential was also evaluated for the fish freshness detection. This work will provide a direction that rapidly synthesizing rare earth element doped metal oxides for high-performance room temperature gas sensors.
