One-dimensional nanofibers can be transformed into hollow structures with larger specific surface area, which contributes to the enhancement of gas adsorption. We firstly fabricated Cu-doped In 2 O 3 (Cu-In 2 O 3 ) hollow nanofibers by electrospinning and calcination for detecting H 2 S. The experimental results show that the Cu doping concentration besides the operating temperature, gas concentration, and relative humidity can greatly affect the H 2 S sensing performance of the In 2 O 3 -based sensors. In particular, the responses of 6%Cu-In 2 O 3 hollow nanofibers are 350.7 and 4201.5 to 50 and 100 ppm H 2 S at 250 °C, which are over 20 and 140 times higher than those of pristine In 2 O 3 hollow nanofibers, respectively. Moreover, the corresponding sensor exhibits excellent selectivity and good reproducibility towards H 2 S, and the response of 6%Cu-In 2 O 3 is still 1.5 to 1 ppm H 2 S. Finally, the gas sensing mechanism of Cu-In2O3 hollow nanofibers is thoroughly discussed, along with the assistance of first-principles calculations. Both the formation of hollow structure and Cu doping contribute to provide more active sites, and meanwhile a little CuO can form p–n heterojunctions with In 2 O 3 and react with H 2 S, resulting in significant improvement of gas sensing performance. The Cu-In 2 O 3 hollow nanofibers can be tailored for practical application to selectively detect H 2 S at lower concentrations.

Room temperature H 2 S gas sensor with low detection limit is necessary for practical application. In this work, ZnFe 2 O 4 was synthesized through a simple solvothermal method, and then CuO was decorated onto the surface of ZnFe 2 O 4 via a modified metal organic framework synthesis method . After a series of characterization methods, it was found that CuO/ZnFe 2 O 4 had porous nanosphere morphology. Gas sensing measurements indicating that the synthesized CuO/ZnFe 2 O 4 porous spheres exhibited excellent H 2 S sensing performance under room temperature, including high sensitivity under low concentration (less than 10 ppm), excellent selectivity, low limit of detection (0.1 ppm), good repeatability, and fast response/recovery time. The sensing mechanism was discussed in detail, which is mainly contributed to the sensitization effect of CuO. This work provides a new strategy for constructing room temperature H 2 S gas sensor based on ZnFe 2 O 4 .

A quasi solid–liquid reaction strategy is proposed that is based on the instantaneous transformation of structured solid ligand aggregation into insoluble Cu 3 (HITP) 2 metal–organic framework (MOF) aggregation without morphologic change (HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene). The initial 3D ordered submicron macropores (TOM) in ligand aggregation can be maintained during the transformation due to the extremely rapid rate of coordination reaction. In this case, the in situ synthesis of the Cu 3 (HITP) 2 MOF film with large-scale TOM structure (TOM-Cu 3 (HITP) 2 film) on ceramic-based gold interdigital electrode (IDE) is achieved. Scanning electron microscope is used to confirm the morphology in each stage of synthetic process. Spectroscopic characterizations prove that there is no essential difference between TOM-Cu 3 (HITP) 2 film and ordinary Cu 3 (HITP) 2 MOF, except for slight differences in the contents of individual surface functional group and integral crystallinities, respectively. Notably, TOM structure endows the TOM-Cu 3 (HITP) 2 film with a dramatic promotion in sensitivity to H 2 S gas. The resistive response of the IDE loaded with TOM-Cu 3 (HITP) 2 film to the 80 ppm H 2 S gas reaches 78.5 at room temperature, which is 6.7× more than that of the Cu 3 (HITP) 2 film without TOM structure. The method of obvious universality allows the authors to perform in situ synthesis directly on the desired substrate without transfer process.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) H 2 S gas sensor based on CuO-TiO 2 p-n heterojunction film was designed and fabricated. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity to H 2 S due to the significant current response of CuO-TiO 2 film to H 2 S gas and the appropriate work point of SAW sensor based on CuO-TiO 2 composite film. The linearity change for sensor frequency shift is strongly associated with the location of work point when the H 2 S concentration increases from 1 to 300 ppm. In addition, the porosity of CuO-TiO 2 film is beneficial to the efficient adsorption for H 2 S, leading to the higher frequency shift of the sensor. The SAW sensor also shows good selectivity and stability to H 2 S with stable frequency shift under different humidity levels.

In this paper, Au-modified Co 3 O 4 hollow nanospheres/graphene composites (Au-Co 3 O 4 /rGO) were synthesized for the first time through a novel “one-pot cooking” method at ambient temperature. The hollow nanospheres exhibited a particle size of approximately 10–15 nm, while the modified Au nanoparticles were about 4–5 nm in diameter. A high-efficiency and high response H 2 S gas sensor was constructed based on Au-Co 3 O 4 /rGO ternary composites. The effects of different Au modifying mass ratios on the H 2 S gas-sensitive performance of the composites were systematically investigated. At an operational temperature of 92 °C, the Au-Co 3 O 4 /rGO sensor, incorporating an Au loading mass ratio of 1.3 wt%, exhibited a response value of 175.4 for H 2 S at 100 ppm, a recovery time of 30 s, and a detection limit reaching as low as 10 ppb. This response was tripled compared to the undoped Co 3 O 4 /rGO sensor. At the same time, the H 2 S sensing mechanism by Au-Co 3 O 4 /rGO was discussed in detail.

In2O3 nanofibers (NFs) and toruloid nanotubes (TNTs) were fabricated by conventional electrospinning process and their sensing properties toward H2S gas were researched. Thermogravimetric analysis, x-ray diffractometry, energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were carefully used to investigate the structures, chemical compositions and morphologies of these samples. The novel structure (TNTs) first used nonpolar mineral oil as the control agent of morphology, and the principle of forming toruloid nanotubes was studied. Phase separation plays a critical role in the process of forming toruloid nanotubes structure automatically. The new application of phase separation provided a simple and effective approach for controlling structure. The research indicated that thin-walled toruloid nanotubes showed higher responses toward H2S compared to nanofibers or thick-walled toruloid nanotubes. Additionally, their excellent selectivity can be attributed to the special gas-sensing mechanism of In2O3 for H2S.

The detection of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) plays a critical role in environmental monitoring and breath analysis for medical diagnostics. For metal oxide semiconductor film-based gas sensors, the quality of the gas-sensitive material and the method of forming the gas-sensitive film on planar electrodes are critical determinants of sensor performance. In this study, a flower-like ZnO@ZnWO 4 heterojunction was directly grown on the surface of a micro-hotplate for gas sensor applications using a two-step method involving block copolymer self-assembly and chemical vapor deposition. The gas sensors demonstrated exceptional performance in detecting H 2 S over a range of 50 ppb to 50 ppm. At an operating temperature of 200 °C, the gas sensor exhibited a remarkable response value (R=127.31) for 5 ppm H 2 S and an outstanding selectivity coefficient of 117.4. Additionally, the sensor maintained 95 % of its original response value over a month. These superior performance metrics are attributed to the n-n heterostructure between ZnO and ZnWO 4 , along with the extensive specific surface area and the presence of oxygen vacancies in the flower-like morphology. This novel approach not only enhances H 2 S detection performance but also significantly contributes to the development of gas sensors crucial for environmental monitoring and human health protection.

The influence of ambient humidity on the gas-sensing characteristics of metal oxide semiconductors has been one of the greatest obstacles for gas-sensing applications. In this paper, the pure WO3 and CeO2-modified WO3 nanocubes were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method, and their gas-sensing characteristics in dry and humid atmospheres were investigated. The results show that CeO2/WO3 demonstrated excellent gas-sensing properties toward H2S with high sensitivity and high selectivity at 115 °C. Noteworthy, the humidity independence of the CeO2/WO3 increased compared to the WO3. The response retentions over the whole humidity range of the CeO2/WO3-6 and CeO2/WO3-15 sensors were 70.3, and 76%, respectively, which were much higher than the WO3 sensor (17.9%). The gas-sensing mechanism of CeO2-modified WO3 is discussed based on the gas sensitivity properties. The obtained results provide a promising route to enhance the anti-humidity properties of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors.

Due to the large band gap, most metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)-based gas sensors operate at high temperatures, which greatly limits their performance for gas sensing. In this work, we reported the successful synthesis of nanocomposites consisting of porous MXene nanosheets formed by the sublimation of sulfur and SnO2 nanoparticles (S-PM/SnO2). To prevent the restacking of MXene flakes under van der Waals force, a sacrificial S-template method was employed to transform MXene into a three-dimensional (3D) structure. The presence of MXene lowers the operating temperature. With a high response (∼30.6 – 10 ppm of H2S), rapid response speed (∼16.6 s – 50 ppm of H2S), high sensitivity (∼3.12 ppm–1), low detection limits (distinct response to 100 ppb H2S), and good selectivity at 100 °C, the sensor based on the optimal sample of S-PM/SnO2-6 demonstrates excellent H2S sensing performance. The improvement in H2S gas-sensing capacity can be attributed to the development of heterojunctions at the interface of porous MXene nanosheets (S-PM) and SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs). This leads to an enlarged surface depletion region and an elevated potential barrier, which significantly amplifies the range of resistance variation. These results suggest that S-PM/SnO2 nanocomposite has promising prospects in the realm of low-temperature and highly sensitive H2S detection.

Constructing porous structure has proved to be an effective strategy to improve the gas sensing properties of metal oxide semiconducting materials. In this work, high-performance hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas sensing material with porous structure were synthesized by growing nickel oxide (NiO) on vanadium trioxide (V2O3) seeds. Morphology and structure characterizations reveal that the novel three-dimensional (3D) nanoflowers are formed by self-assembling two-dimensional (2D) porous nanosheets with high surface area and abundant active sites. Compared with pristine NiO, the sensing performance of V2O3-NiO (VN8, VN7, VN6) with different ratios of V3+: Ni2+ is enhanced due to their porous structure. Among them, VN7 sensor shows excellent sensing properties at 200 °C. The response to 500 ppb H2S can reach 65, which increases as high as 2.2 times compared with the pristine NiO sensor. The response time to 500 ppb H2S is further decreased from 13 s of the pristine NiO sensors to 8 s of VN7 sensor. The VN7 sensor also shows a wide linear range from 20 ppb to 500 ppb, high selectivity, good repeatability, long-term stability, moisture resistance and low detection limit (20 ppb), indicating its potential candidate for ppb-level H2S detection in complex environment of industrial mine.

Developing a respiratory analysis disease diagnosis platform for the H2S biomarker has great significance for the real-time detection of various diseases. However, achieving highly sensitive and rapid detection of H2S gas at the parts per billion level at low temperatures is one of the most critical challenges for developing portable exhaled gas sensors. Herein, Cu2O-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) heterostructures with excellent gas sensitivity to H2S at room temperature and a lower temperature were successfully synthesized by a facile two-dimensional (2D) electrodeposition in situ assembly method. The combination of Cu2O and MWCNTs via the principle of optimal conductance growth not only reduced the initial resistance of the material but also provided an ideal interfacial barrier structure. Compared to the response of the pure Cu2O sensor, that of the Cu2O-MWCNT sensor to 1 ppm of H2S increased nearly 800 times at room temperature, and the response time decreased by more than 500 s. In addition to the excellent sensitivity with detection limits as low as 1 ppb, the Cu2O-MWCNT sensor was extremely selective with low-temperature adaptability. The sensor had a response value of 80.6 to 0.1 ppm of H2S at −10 °C, which is difficult to achieve with sensors based on oxygen adsorption/desorption mechanisms. The sensor was used for the detection of real oral exhaled breath, confirming its feasibility as a real-time disease monitoring sensor. The Cu2O-MWCNT heterostructures maximized the advantages of the individual components and laid the experimental foundation for future applications of highly sensitive portable breath analysis platforms for monitoring H2S.

Heterostructured Nb 2 O 5 /SnO 2 core-shell nanorods are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal strategy and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The SnO 2 shell thicknesses varying from 7 to 34 nm exhibit a significant impact on sensing performance. The response enhancement mechanism of the Nb 2 O 5 /SnO 2 core-shell nanorods is illustrated based on the electron-depletion model. The Nb 2 O 5 /SnO 2 core-shell nanorods gas sensors were synthesized based on the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), which could provide variable operating temperatures for the gas sensors with highly integrated design and low power consumption. The response of the Nb 2 O 5 /SnO 2 core-shell nanorods gas sensor deposited with 20 nm SnO 2 shell towards 20 ppm H 2 S at 275 °C was 4.0, which showed a 3.8-fold of improvement compared with pristine Nb 2 O 5 nanorods. Furthermore, the well-structured core-shell nanorods gas sensors maintained stable performance after three months, presenting long-term stability and repeatability. The proposed Nb 2 O 5 /SnO 2 core-shell nanorods gas sensors demonstrate a potential strategy for the practical application in oil and gas drilling platforms and other industrial fields.
