Synthesis of 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO heterostructure nanobelts with enhanced gas sensing properties
摘要： Exploring high-performance sensing materials is ultra-important for safety control. Herein, 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO nanocomposites are prepared via a facile hydrothermal method and its microstructure is characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is confirmed that the as-prepared nanocomposites are constituted by 1D α-MoO3 nanobelts (200-300 nm in width), with the surface loaded with fine ZnO nanoparticles. Sensing properties of the α-MoO3 and 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO nanocomposites to ethanol are measured and compared. Interestingly, the ZnO-decorated α-MoO3 nanobelts exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity to ethanol at relatively low operating temperature (250 oC) when compared with that of the raw α-MoO3 nanobelts, indicating a good candidate of 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO nanocomposites for future ethanol detection.

High-temperature mid-infrared absorption spectra of methanol (CH3OH) and ethanol (C2H5OH) between 930 and 1170?cm-1
摘要： A methodology was recently developed with a broad-tuning, rapid-scan external-cavity quantum-cascade-laser in conjunction with shock tube facilities to measure the high-temperature mid-infrared absorption spectra of gaseous molecules. This technique is deployed to measure the cross section profiles in the C-O stretching band for methanol (CH3OH) and ethanol (C2H5OH) between 930 and 1170 cm-1. Methanol spectra are presented from 620 to 1304K between 0.98-3.30 atm with distinctive P, Q, and R branches of the ν8 vibrational band. At elevated temperatures, the emergence of hotbands and high-J ro-vibrational transitions are clearly observed. The absorption cross sections of ethanol are measured from 296 to 1018K between 0.90-3.27 atm. The peak strength decreases with temperature, with the peak location shifting to lower wavenumbers. These measurements are compared with existing empirical models, illustrating a strong need for the development of a high-temperature spectroscopic database.

Correlation of surface processes with characteristic sensing responses of PdO thin films to ethanol
摘要： Gas sensing characteristics of PdO nanoflake thin films exposed to ethanol (EtOH) at temperatures below 250 °C was studied. The PdO thin film responds distinctly to 0.15 ppm EtOH in dry air at temperatures above 100 °C. A characteristic valley-shaped response feature develops in the early stage of the exposure to EtOH at 150 °C and above. Formation of the valley feature is a result of the combined effects of two types of surface processes, which successively modify the sensor conductance in the opposite way. Dehydrogenation of adsorbed EtOH induces reduction of preadsorbed oxygen anions and the PdO substrate, resulting in the drop of the conductance. On the other hand, subsequent adsorption of EtOH and oxygen on newly growing Pd nanoclusters, which develop due to the reduction of the PdO substrate, causes the increase in the conductance. The Pd nanoclusters can be later reoxidized in the EtOH gas mixture, thereby modifying the sensing behavior of the PdO sensor. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffusive reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) were used to study adspecies and gaseous species formed in the EtOH gas sensing reactions. On the basis of the characteristic electrical response and chemical characterizations, we proposed the formation mechanism for the characteristic response feature.

Core-shell structure of ZnO/Co3O4 composites derived from bimetallic-organic frameworks with superior sensing performance for ethanol gas
摘要： In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), especially zeolite-imidazole frameworks (ZIFs), have been attracting widespread attention as templates for the synthesis of sensing materials. Limited researches, however, have been carried out to utilize bimetallic ZIFs in gas sensing, as the existing studies mostly involve mono-metallic ZIFs. Here in, the core-shell structure of ZnO and Co3O4 composite (CS-ZnO/Co3O4) was synthesized via chemical etched to Co/Zn based zeolitic imidazolate framework (Co/Zn-ZIF) with subsequent annealing. The morphology, composition and surface characteristics of the as-obtained samples were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Moreover, the gas sensing measurements were implemented under various atmospheres. The response of CS-ZnO/Co3O4 sensor to 100 ppm ethanol at 200 °C achieves 38.87, which is 2.8 times that of single-shell ZnO/Co3O4 (SS-ZnO/Co3O4). The improved response is mainly attributed to the core-shell structure, which offers larger surface area, more active sites for gas diffusion and the formation of p-n heterojunction between ZnO and Co3O4.

Substituent effects on H <sub/>3</sub><sup>+</sup> formation via H <sub/>2</sub> roaming mechanisms from organic molecules under strong-field photodissociation
摘要： Roaming chemical reactions are often associated with neutral molecules. The recent findings of roaming processes in ionic species, in particular, ones that lead to the formation of H3+ under strong-field laser excitation, are of considerable interest. Given that such gas-phase reactions are initiated by double ionization and subsequently facilitated through deprotonation, we investigate the strong-field photodissociation of ethanethiol, also known as ethyl mercaptan, and compare it to results from ethanol. Contrary to expectations, the H3+ yield was found to be an order of magnitude lower for ethanethiol at certain laser field intensities, despite its lower ionization energy and higher acidity compared to ethanol. In-depth analysis of the femtosecond time-resolved experimental findings, supported by ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, provides key information regarding the roaming mechanisms related to H3+ formation. Results of this study on the dynamics of dissociative half-collisions involving H3+, a vital cation which acts as a Br?nsted–Lowry acid protonating interstellar organic compounds, may also provide valuable information regarding the formation mechanisms and observed natural abundances of complex organic molecules in interstellar media and planetary atmospheres.

A novel on-line electrochemical transmission infrared spectroscopy to?study the current efficiency of carbonates for?ethanol oxidation reactions in alkaline media
摘要： Research on the reaction mechanism of ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is important for the development of highly active EOR electro-catalysts. One of the main difficulties in the EOR study is the quantitative analysis of the non-volatile products. Conventional on-line electrochemical flowing transmission infrared spectroscopy (ETIRS) can only collect a part of the carbonate products of EOR in alkaline media, making the further quantitative study impossible. Herein, a new ETIRS system has been designed and prepared by employing a cation-exchange membrane (Nafion) in the sampling hood. The using of the Nafion membrane can prevent the anions crossing over by confining the generated carbonates in the sampling hood without diffusing into the bulk electrolyte. Therefore, the collection efficiency of the carbonate products as well as the test accuracy of the carbonate current efficiency has been significantly improved. The result of CO stripping reaction shows that ca. 100% of the carbonate product is able to be collected in alkaline media by this new system. The influence of the experimental temperature to the carbonate current efficiency has been further studied on Pt/C toward EOR in alkaline media.

Highly Sensitive and Selective PbTiO3 Gas Sensors with Negligible Humidity Interference in Ambient Atmosphere
摘要： Three PbTiO3 nanostructures were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal reaction with different TiO2 powders as Ti sources, and their gas sensing properties were investigated. The sensor comprising PbTiO3 nanoplates exhibited a high response (resistance ratio = 80.4) to 5 ppm ethanol at 300 °C and could detect trace concentrations of ethanol down to 100 ppb. Moreover, the sensor showed high ethanol selectivity and nearly the same sensing characteristics despite the wide range of humidity variation from 20% RH to 80% RH. The mechanism for humidity-independent gas sensing was elucidated using the diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra. PbTiO3 nanoplates are new and promising sensing materials that can be used for detecting ethanol in a highly sensitive and selective manner with negligible interference from ambient humidity.

Anchoring Gold Nanoparticles on Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) Nanonet as Three-dimensional Electrocatalysts toward Ethanol and 2-propanol Oxidation
摘要： Renewable alcohol oxidation is of vital significance for clean energy conversion and storage. Here, we fabricated a three-dimensional (3D) nanonet-like hybrid catalyst combining Au nanoparticles and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) together, in which PEDOT nanonets act as the framework of the 3D catalyst and the support for the dispersion of Au nanoparticles. The catalyst was designated as Au-PEDOT. By using conductive carbon cloth (CC) as electrode substrates, the as-fabricated Au-PEDOT/CC electrodes were applied to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity towards ethanol and 2-propanol in the alkaline media, respectively. The catalytic activity on Au-PEDOT/CC in terms of the peak current and/or peak current density towards ethanol and 2-propanol oxidation is five times higher than that on comparative Au/CC catalysts, respectively, which is also higher than that on some similar materials reported in the literature. In addition, the Au-PEDOT/CC electrode also possessed great durability and reproducibility. This enhancement in electrocatalytic activity can be attributed to a number of factors: the nano-scale of the Au catalysts, the 3D nanostructure of the catalysts, the conductivity of PEDOT, as well as the effect of alkaline media. These results indicate the as-synthesized Au-PEDOT is a promising electrocatalyst for liquid fuel oxidation.

Orthogonal gas sensor arrays by chemoresistive material design
摘要： Gas sensor arrays often lack discrimination power to different analytes and robustness to interferants, limiting their success outside of research laboratories. This is primarily due to the widely sensitive (thus weakly-selective) nature of the constituent sensors. Here, the effect of orthogonality on array accuracy and precision by selective sensor design is investigated. Therefore, arrays of (2–5) selective and non-selective sensors are formed by systematically altering array size and composition. Their performance is evaluated with 60 random combinations of ammonia, acetone and ethanol at ppb to low ppm concentrations. Best analyte predictions with high coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.96 for ammonia, 0.99 for acetone and 0.88 for ethanol are obtained with an array featuring high degree of orthogonality. This is achieved by using distinctly selective sensors (Si:MoO3 for ammonia and Si:WO3 for acetone together with Si:SnO2) that improve discrimination power and stability of the regression coefficients. On the other hand, arrays with collinear sensors (Pd:SnO2, Pt:SnO2 and Si:SnO2) hardly improve gas predictions having R2 of 0.01, 0.86 and 0.28 for ammonia, acetone and ethanol, respectively. Sometimes they even exhibited lower coefficient of determination than single sensors as a Si:MoO3 sensor alone predicts ammonia better with a R2 of 0.68.

Plasmonic Sensing of Refractive Index and Density in Methanol-Ethanol Mixtures at High Pressure
摘要： The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanospheres dispersed in methanol-ethanol 4:1 was measured as a function of pressure up to 60 GPa. The LSPR exhibits an intense redshift with pressure in the range of 0-10 GPa, followed by a slower blueshift at higher pressures. This is because an increase in the solvent refractive index with pressure leads to a redshift of the LSPR peak wavelength while an increase in the electron density of the gold nanospheres with pressure leads to a blueshift. Solvent solidification at 10 GPa and associated non-hydrostatic effects have a negligible influence on the LSPR shifts in the case of nanospheres. Here we show that both the LSPR shifts and changes in the nanospheres absorption coefficient can be explained on the basis of Gans’ model, and this enables the solvent refractive index and the density of the solvent to be determined across the hydrostatic pressure range from 0-60 GPa. Interestingly, plasmonic sensing shows no evidence of crystallization or glass phase transitions in MeOH-EtOH (4:1) solvents within the explored pressure range.
