Selective and Rapid Room Temperature Detection of H2S Using Gold Nanoparticle Chain Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel conductometric hydrogen sulfide (H2S) sensor was fabricated by AC dielectrophoretic assembly of amino acid mediated grown gold nanoparticles across microfabricated gold electrodes. Excellent sensing performance toward hydrogen sulfide, including a sensitivity of 29.84% ppm , a lower detection limit in the sub-ppm level, the upper detection limit of 2 ppm, and a response time of<20 s for 10 ppm H2S was achieved at room temperature. In addition, excellent selectivity was demonstrated toward CO and SO2 with minimum interference from NH3. Enhanced sensor performance may be attributed to the use of amino acid capped gold nanoparticles compared to thiolated gold nanoparticles and optimized assembly conditions to control the density of gold nanoparticle chains and electron transport properties.

متن کاملHighly Sensitive Detection of H2S Molecules Using a TiO2-Supported Au Overlayer Based Nanosensors: A Van Der Waals Corrected DFT Study
The adsorption of the H2S molecule on the undoped and N-doped TiO2 anatase supported Au nanoparticles were studied using density functional theory calculations. The adsorption of H2S on both Au and TiO2 sides of the nanoparticle was examined. On the TiO2 side, the fivefold coordinated titanium site was found to be the most favorable binding site, giving rise to the strong interaction of H2S wit...
