The surface science of titanium dioxide

We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts and benefits reaching into most areas of society. This roadmap was developed within the framework of the European Graphene Flagship and outlines the main targets and research areas as best understood at the start of this ambitious project. We provide an overview of the key aspects of graphene and related materials (GRMs), ranging from fundamental research challenges to a variety of applications in a large number of sectors, highlighting the steps necessary to take GRMs from a state of raw potential to a point where they might revolutionize multiple industries. We also define an extensive list of acronyms in an effort to standardize the nomenclature in this emerging field.

Science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems

The surface and materials science of tin oxide

Conductometric semiconducting metal oxide gas sensors have been widely used and investigated in the detection of gases. Investigations have indicated that the gas sensing process is strongly related to surface reactions, so one of the important parameters of gas sensors, the sensitivity of the metal oxide based materials, will change with the factors influencing the surface reactions, such as chemical components, surface-modification and microstructures of sensing layers, temperature and humidity. In this brief review, attention will be focused on changes of sensitivity of conductometric semiconducting metal oxide gas sensors due to the five factors mentioned above.

Metal oxide gas sensors: Sensitivity and influencing factors

Tin dioxide is a widely used sensitive material for gas sensors. Many research and development groups in academia and industry are contributing to the increase of (basic) knowledge/(applied) know-how. However, from a systematic point of view the knowledge gaining process seems not to be coherent. One reason is the lack of a general applicable model which combines the basic principles with measurable sensor parameters. The approach in the presented work is to provide a frame model that deals with all contributions involved in conduction within a real world sensor. For doing so, one starts with identifying the different building blocks of a sensor. Afterwards their main inputs are analyzed in combination with the gas reaction involved in sensing. At the end, the contributions are summarized together with their interactions. The work presented here is one step towards a general applicable model for real world gas sensors.

Conduction Model of Metal Oxide Gas Sensors

The paper critically reviews the state of the art in the field of experimental techniques possible to be applied to the study of conductometric gas sensors based on semiconducting metal oxides. The used assessment criteria are subordinated to the proposed R&D approach, which focuses on the study, and subsequent modelling, of sensors’ performance in realistic operation conditions by means of a combination of phenomenological and spectroscopic techniques. With this viewpoint, the paper presents both the to-date achievements and shortcomings of different experimental techniques, describes – by using selected examples – how the proposed approach can be used and proposes a set of objectives for the near future.

Electronic nose: current status and future trends.

Gas sensors based on semiconducting materials have become of great interest to both sensor users and researchers. In this context, a huge number of publications have appeared in the literature which deal with metal oxide gas sensors, in general, and with the prototype material SnO2, in particular. The amount of data published grows continuously and has led to a situation in which even experts in this field tend to lose an overview. The present review describes the reasons for this complexity and outlines unifying concepts to understand the huge amount of published, mostly empirical data. This leads to a comprehension of gas-sensing phenomena in both the application and research domains.

Fundamental and practical aspects in the design of nanoscaled SnO2 gas sensors : a status report

The development of a quantitative model that correlates conduction in and sensing with p-type gas sensitive metal oxides is presented here. The theoretical results are confronted with the experimental data and found to be in very good agreement. The model also explains the differences between the performance of gas sensors based on n and p-type metal oxides and indicates the possible improvement routes.
