Fe3+-Induced surface hole generation for selective •OH formation and efficient NO2 Suppression in photocatalytic NO oxidation

Yuerui Ma,Peng Chen,Jiazhen Liao,Xing’an Dong,Wenjie He,Wendong Zhang

Selective photocatalytic oxidation of NO to nitrate (NO 3 – ) over toxic NO 2 remains challenging due to low selectivity and inefficient charge migration in existing systems. This study introduces Fe 3+ as an electron acceptor beneath a Bi 4 TaO 8 Cl/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 heterojunction to precisely regulate electron pathways and promote targeted hydroxyl radical ( • OH) generation. Combined experimental and DFT analyses reveal Fe 3+ ’s dual role: enhancing interfacial electron transfer and activating H 2 O at surface sites to form • OH. The optimized heterojunction achieves 68.19 % NO conversion with minimal NO 2 selectivity (10.98 %). ESR and ROS quenching confirm Fe 3+ -driven electron migration enriches surface holes, boosting H 2 O adsorption and • OH production (2.76-fold increase). The strong oxidation capacity of • OH suppresses NO 2 formation, favoring complete NO oxidation to NO 3 – . This work provides a strategic approach for selective NO removal by electron-pathway engineering, advancing the design of eco-friendly photocatalysts for air pollution control.

Highly responsive WO3/SnS2 sensor with humidity compensation: NO2 real-time detection system in soil surface layer

Huizhang Zhao,Jianhui Lv,Xiao Ma,Bin Huang,Lei Han,Xingyu Kang,Dong Wang,Hairui Fang

NO 2 concentration in soil surface is one of the important indicators affecting soil nitrogen cycle. Real-time detection of NO 2 is crucial to optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizer and improve efficiency, which is also a key means to prevent soil acidification and increase crop yield. However, the humidity conditions on the soil surface increase the challenge of real-time detection of NO 2 . Therefore, a composite material of tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) composite tin sulfide (SnS 2 ) with heterogeneous structure was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. The composite material is seen to exist in the form of nanosheets. At the optimal working temperature of 210℃, the response of the composite material (WO 3 /SnS 2 (3:10)) with a molar ratio of WO 3 to SnS 2 of 3:10–20 ppm NO 2 is 63.8. The excellent gas sensing performance is attributed to the composition of heterojunction and the increase of deficiency oxygen. In the relative humidity (RH) range of 20–98 %, the response of the WO 3 /SnS 2 (3:10) has a good linearity ( R 2 =0.995). Therefore, the humidity compensation is integrated into the convenient NO 2 detection equipment to ensure that the WO 3 /SnS 2 (3:10) sensor can detect NO 2 stably and accurately under different humidity conditions. The NO 2 real-time detection system uses the OLED to display the humidity value and NO 2 concentration value in real time on the soil surface, and the buzzer as an alarm device for exceeding the concentration threshold (2 ppm NO 2 ), which reminds staff of the need to take action to adjust crop management strategies to improve crop health.

Microstructural engineering of ZIF-8/In2O3 core-shell nanocomposites for superior ppb-level NO2 gas sensing performance

Hongtao Wang,Yuanchao Xie,Yang Liu,Yaodan Zhang,Jianan Ma,Jiaqi Yang

The enhanced sensitivity and selectivity of NO 2 gas sensors are crucial for atmospheric environmental monitoring. In this study, a novel NO 2 gas sensor based on small-sized ZIF-8/In 2 O 3 core-shell nanocube has been developed through a simple solvothermal method along with in situ modification. The ZIF-8 coating significantly increased the specific surface area of the In 2 O 3 nanocubes from 60.64 m 2 /g to 140.84 m 2 /g, while also boosting the adsorption of oxygen ions on the surface. Gas-sensing tests revealed that the ZIF-8/In 2 O 3 composites exhibited a response of 56.3 to 1 ppm of NO 2 , with an exceptionally low detection limit of 1 ppb. Notably, the sensor demonstrated outstanding selectivity for NO 2 over other potential interfering gases. The remarkable NO 2 sensing performance of the ZIF-8/In 2 O 3 composites can be attributed to the grain boundary effects in the In 2 O 3 nanocubes (with side lengths of approximately 40–50 nm), as well as the sensitizing and filtering effects of the ZIF-8 layer. This work holds significant promise for the rapid detection of low-concentration NO 2 gases in various applications.

Synergism of Edge Effect and Interlayer Engineering of VS2 on CNFs for Rapid and Precise NO2 Detection

Huajing Wang,Zhou Cui,Rui Xiong,Xiaoxia Wang,Wulin Song,Xiang Guo,Xiao Wu,Baisheng Sa,Dawen Zeng

Although two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit attractive prospects for gas-sensing applications, the rapid and precise sensing of TMDs at low loss remains challenging. Herein, a NO2 sensor based on an expanded VS2 (VS2-E)/carbon nanofibers (CNFs) composite (abbreviated as VS2-E-C) with ultrafast response/recovery at a low-loss state is reported. In particular, the impact of the CNF content on the NO2-sensing performance of VS2-E-C was thoroughly explored. Expanded VS2 nanosheets were grafted onto the surface of hollow CNFs, and the combination boosted the charge transport, exposing abundant active edges of VS2, which enhanced the adsorption of NO2 efficiently. The activity of the VS2 edge is further confirmed by stronger NO2 adsorption with a more negative adsorption energy (−3.42 eV) and greater than the basal VS2 surface (−1.26 eV). Moreover, the exposure of rich edges induced the emergence of the expanded interlayers, which promoted the adsorption/desorption of NO2 and the interaction of gas molecules within VS2-E-C. The synergism of edge effect and interlayer engineering confers the VS2-E-C3 sensor with ultrafast response/recovery speed (9/10 s) at 60 °C, high sensitivity (∼2.50 to 15 ppm NO2), good selectivity/stability, and a low detection limit of 23 ppb. The excellent “4S” functions indicate the promising prospect of the VS2-E-C3 sensor for fast and precise NO2 detection at low-loss condition.

Plasmon-activated NO2 sensor based on Au@MoS2 core-shell nanoparticles with heightened sensitivity and full recoverability

Jinyong Hu,Xing Liu,Jiawei Zhang,Xin Gu,Yong Zhang

Developing high-performance gas-sensing devices based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has sparked significant research interest in efficient detection of hazardous gases at room temperature . Considering that the gas-sensing performances of TMDs-based sensors can be effectively improved by the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of decorated noble-metal nanoparticles, herein, we explored the LSPR effect on gas-sensitive features via the design of a visible-light-assisted gas sensor using Au@MoS 2 core-shell heterostructures as sensitive materials. The internal connection between the optical absorption and the gas-sensing properties of Au@MoS 2 heterostructures was investigated. Intriguingly, under the activation of indoor white-light, the optimized Au@MoS 2 sensor displayed an enhanced response by more than 8 times and elevated recoverability from 60% to 98% almost without baseline shift as compared with the pure MoS 2 gas sensor for the detection of NO 2 (1 ppm). The combination of experimental and theoretical analysis indicates that the improved gas-sensing performances can be primarily attributed to the effective amplification of the light absorption efficiency of MoS 2 induced by the LSPR effect from the Au nanoparticle cores. These results imply a potential application in monitoring NO 2 gas at room temperature and open up an effective thoughtway for developing high-performance visible-light-modulated gas sensors.

Highly selective preparation of valuable dinitronaphthalene from catalytic nitration of 1-nitronaphthalene with NO2 over HY zeolite

Renjie Deng,Kuiyi You,Fangfang Zhao,Pingle Liu,He'an Luo

In this work, a simple method for the highly selective preparation of valuable dinitronaphthalene from 1-nitronaphthalene employing NO 2 as a nitrating agent has been developed. The results demonstrated that HY zeolite as an eco-friendly and stable catalyst exhibits good catalytic performances. The total selectivity to valuable dinitronaphthalene compounds including 1,5-, 1,4-, and 1,3-dinitronaphthalene can reach 87.6 % in our present nitration reaction. Meanwhile, the physico-chemical properties of catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TG/DTG, BET, and NH 3 -TPD, and the probable nitration reaction mechanism was also suggested in this paper. The present nitration process seems to be a mild, eco-friendly, and economical route for the preparation of valuable dinitronaphthalene compounds.

Boosted Light-Excited NO2 Detection Based on Hierarchical Z-Scheme MoS2/SnO2 Heterostructure Microspheres at Room Temperature

Yong Yang,Shenman Yao,Wufei Gong,Yan Liang,Ting Yu,Cailei Yuan

Light excitation has been developed as an economical way to realize room-temperature gas sensing recently. However, the high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers in semiconductor gas sensing materials leads to very limited carriers that can effectively take part in sensing reactions, which greatly restricts the further performance improvement of gas sensing under light excitation. Here, a hierarchical Z-scheme heterostructure microsphere of MoS2/SnO2 is designed and prepared. The heterostructure demonstrates an outstanding NO2 sensing performance at room temperature with the excitation of a low-power LED light (0.06 W), which exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity of 264.2 to 10 ppm of NO2 along with acceptable response/recovery properties. The physical mechanism of NO2 sensing is analyzed. The results suggest that the construction of the Z-scheme heterostructure between MoS2 and SnO2 can greatly promote the separation of photogenerated carriers so that more photogenerated carriers can take part in the NO2 sensing reaction. Furthermore, the designing of a hierarchically porous structure can provide abundant active sites for gas sensing reactions. The work not only expands the development of Z-scheme heterostructures in gas sensing but also provides a strategy to promote the performance of light-excited gas sensors by designing a Z-scheme heterostructure with a hierarchically porous structure.

A room-temperature nitrite-based hybrid bimetal molecular ferroelectric material: [(R)-3-quinuclidinol]2[LiCo(NO2)6]

Zhi-Yuan Yue,Rong-Meng Liao,Wang Luo,Na Wang,Le-Ping Miao,Heng-Yun Ye,Chao Shi

Organic–inorganic hybrid molecular ferroelectrics have attracted broad attention in the field of research of ferroelectric materials. Following the surge of stable candidates, hybrid bimetal molecular-based materials have been recently explored to achieve excellent ferroelectricity. However, rare hybrid bimetal molecular ferroelectrics were reported. Inspired by “ferroelectrochemistry”, a chiral nitrite-based hybrid bimetal molecular ferroelectric material, [(R)-3-quinuclidinol]2[LiCo(NO2)6] (1), was reported. The ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition (C2 ↔ P321) behaviour of 1; was found at 343 K (Curie temperature, Tc) with a spontaneous electronic polarization (Ps) of 0.52 μC cm−2 and a coercive field (Ec) of 48 kV cm−1 at 298 K. Various-temperature single crystal structural analysis and dielectric constant measurements reveal that the rapid rotation of the organic cation and slight order–disorder transition of the NO2− anion are the origin of the ferroelectricity. To our knowledge, 1 is the first example of a nitrite-based hybrid bimetal molecular ferroelectric material that is triggered by an external electric field. This finding establishes a clear stimulus–structure–response relationship in advanced hybrid ferroelectric materials.

The High Sensitivity NO2 Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor with New Sensing Film Made by a Novel Method

Youwang Hu,Chengzhi Xu,Ji'an Duan,Jiwen Xiang,Shu Wang,Xiaoyan Sun

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors have received great attention because of their compact design and excellent sensing performance, including high sensitivity, low detection limits. However, SAW sensors generally suffer from low quality of the solid thin films which has a significant effect to the detection performance of the sensors. To solve this problem, three different methods (spin coating, drop coating and spray coating) for fabricating thin films have been investigated for gaseous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) SAW sensors in this work. Spray coating method showed its advantages in improving the solid film quality of the sensing layer and the performance of the sensors. SEM characterization shows that the spray coating films are more uniform and poly-porous. Sensors with spray coating film can detect NO2 range from sub ppm to hundreds ppm with high sensibility and stability. Its sensitivity is 42.31 Hz/ppm and its sensing limit is down to 57.2 ppb.

Regulation of electronic properties of ZnO/In2O3 heterospheres via atomic layer deposition for high performance NO2 detection

Zishuo Li,Chengming Lou,Guanglu Lei,Guocai Lu,Hongyin Pan,Xianghong Liu,Jun Zhang

Metal oxide semiconductor heterostructures are promising for gas sensors due to their unique chemical and electronic properties at the heterointerface. In this work, a highly sensitive and selective gas sensor for the detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is reported based on In2O3/ZnO heterogeneous nanospheres designed by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Their electronic properties at the In2O3/ZnO heterogeneous interface can be tuned by varying ZnO ALD cycles. Gas sensing tests show that ZnO ALD significantly improves the sensor performance of In2O3 nanospheres, rendering a response of 7.9 to 10 ppm NO2 even at room temperature (RT). The sensor based on In2O3/ZnO with 30 cycles of ZnO ALD delivers the best response of 139.9 to 10 ppm NO2 at an operating temperature of 180 °C, showing a nearly 6-fold enhancement over pristine In2O3. Meanwhile, the In2O3/ZnO sensor also exhibits a low limit of detection of 35 ppb, which allows for reliable detection of sub-ppm NO2. The excellent sensor performances are correlated to the modulation of electron depletion layers at the In2O3/ZnO heterointerface, which sheds some light on designing new materials via ALD for the detection of hazardous gas molecules.

Immobilization of Cytochrome C by Benzoic Acid (BA)-Functional UiO-66-NO2 and the Enzyme Activity Assay

An Peide,Zhu Fenfen,Liu Shiji,Zhou Xiaolin,Wang Chunfang,Liu Yufeng,Meng Hao,Zhang Xia

Recently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be the moderate hosts for the bio-enzymes owing to their unique 3D pores and controllable surface affinity to the target molecules. In this work, the benzoic acid (BA)–modulated UiO-66-NO 2 was introduced, and cytochrome c (Cyt C) was chosen as the target enzyme to evaluate the immobilization efficiency of the resulting UiO-66-NO 2 -BA. The immobilization conditions including pH, adsorption time, and temperature and the initial concentrations of BA were optimized. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics were analyzed to further explore the enhanced adsorption mechanism. It is worth noted that all the UiO-66-NO 2 -BA exhibited evidently enhanced adsorption capacities in comparison with the unmodified UiO-66-NO 2 due to the formation of the chemical bonds between the UiO-66-NO 2 -BA and cytochrome C, indicating the positive roles of BA modification. Finally, the activities of the immobilized cytochrome C were assessed by using the catalytic oxidation of ABTS in the presence of H 2 O 2 , which reactions were also conducted over the free cytochrome C for comparison. The evidently improved stability under definite pH range, prolonged durability against the organic solvents, and the good reusability of the immobilized cytochrome C highlight the prospect applications of functional MOF immobilized enzymes in the practical catalytic reactions.
