Thermal and Optical Activation Mechanisms of Nanospring-Based Chemiresistors

چکیده
Chemiresistors (conductometric sensor) were fabricated on the basis of novel nanomaterials--silica nanosprings ALD coated with ZnO. The effects of high temperature and UV illumination on the electronic and gas sensing properties of chemiresistors are reported. For the thermally activated chemiresistors, a discrimination mechanism was developed and an integrated sensor-array for simultaneous real-time resistance scans was built. The integrated sensor response was tested using linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The distinguished electronic signatures of various chemical vapors were obtained at ppm level. It was found that the recovery rate at high temperature drastically increases upon UV illumination. The feasibility study of the activation method by UV illumination at room temperature was conducted.

A IO N Graphene is a two-dimensional semimetal with zero band gap that exhibits excellent electrical, mechanical and thermal properties.[1,2] Transport through delocalized pi bonds allows charge carriers in graphene to achieve high mobility[3,4] for both electrons and holes, over ∼105 cm2/V·s for freely suspended graphene and >104 cm2/V·s for graphene on SiO2. Recent studies have suggested that...
