The Effect of Monolayer Graphene on the UV Assisted NO2 Sensing and Recovery at Room Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, UV light induced desorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on pristine graphene based gas sensor is used to improve the sensing performance. Compared to the sample without UV light exposure, the response is 12%, 18% and 21% for NO2 concentrations of 1, 3 and 5 ppm. In addition, the recovery could be speeded up by UV irradiation. The sensor shows good behavior of repeatability when tested for 1 ppm of NO2 in 3 cycles. The graphene sensor with UV irradiation has a higher sensitivity to NO2 than to other gases under higher concentrations.

متن کاملRoom temperature NO2 sensing: what advantage does the rGO-NiO nanocomposite have over pristine NiO?
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) nanocomposites for room temperature gas sensing applications. Generally, the sensitivity of a MOS can be obviously enhanced by the incorporation of rGO. However, a lack of knowledge regarding how rGO can enhance gas-sensing performances of MOSs impedes its sensing app...

In this study, we use two-dimensional black flake nickel oxide as the sensitive material which was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. The as-synthesized sheet-like NiO possessed a large specific surface area, as verified by BET characterization. The as-prepared NiO nanosheets had strong absorption in the range of 250–800 nm including UV and visible light. Upon exposure to ppb-level NO2...
