Graphene-like Nano-Sheets/36° LiTaO3 Surface Acoustic Wave Hydrogen Gas Sensor
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Presented is the material and gas sensing properties of graphene-like nano-sheets deposited on 36° YX lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) surface acoustic wave (SAW) transducers. The graphene-like nano-sheets were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The graphenelike nano-sheet/SAW sensors were exposed to different concentrations of hydrogen (H2) gas in a synthetic air at room temperature. The developed sensors exhibit good sensitivity towards low concentrations of H2 in ambient conditions, as well as excellent dynamic performance towards H2 at room temperature.

Single crystal nanobelts of ZnO were synthesized and deposited onto 36° YX LiTaO3 and 64° YX LiNbO3 Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices for gas sensing applications. Sensor response, defined as the change in resonant frequency, was measured for H2 and NO2 between 20 and 200°C. Measured sensor responses were 3.5 kHz towards 10 ppm NO2 for a 64° LiNbO3 SAW transducer operating at 160°C and 3 kHz ...
متن کاملThe Possibility of Selective Adsorption and Sensing of the Noble Gaseous Species by the C20 Fullerene, the Graphene Sheets, and the N4B4 Cluster
There are only a handful reports about the sensor systems having the ability of detecting the existence of the noble gases. Chemical reluctance of these gaseous species causes them to have no chemical interactions like hydrogen bonding with the chemically designed nano-sized sensors. Noble gasses usually have no atomic charges nor do change the total polarity of the molecular sensor systems. Th...

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors comprising a zinc oxide guiding layer deposited on a 36°-YX lithium tantalate substrate were developed. They were found to have greater mass sensitivity than other LiTaO3 based SAW sensors, such as the SiO2/LiTaO3 configuration. In this paper, the fabrication of the ZnO/LiTaO3 sensor is described and micro-characterisation of the deposited films is presented....
