研究目的
To measure hydrogen concentration in air at room temperature using sensitive composite films for surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors, employing quantum dots (QDs) and polymers to improve sensitivity.
研究成果
The use of QDs in polymeric sensitive films significantly improves the sensitivity of SAW sensors for hydrogen detection at room temperature. A heat treatment further enhances the sensors' performance, with the best results obtained for PDMS polymer with QDs after heat treatment, achieving a LOD of 452 ppm.
研究不足
The study focuses on hydrogen detection at room temperature and does not explore the performance of the sensors at higher temperatures or with other gases. The long-term stability and aging effects of the polymer films are not addressed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Development of sensitive composite films for SAW sensors using QDs and polymers (PDMS and PMMA). Si/SiO2 QDs were obtained by laser ablation and analyzed by XRD and TEM.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two types of polymers (PDMS and PMMA) and their composites with QDs were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SAW sensor based on a quartz substrate, gold IDTs, Si/SiO2 QDs, PDMS, PMMA, anisole, toluene.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Polymer and polymer with QDs compositions were deposited on the sensor substrate by drop casting, followed by a heat treatment at 80°C for two hours.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Sensitivity, LOD, and reversibility of the sensors were determined by measuring the frequency shift at different hydrogen concentrations.
