Hydrogen reduced graphene oxide/metal grid hybrid film: towards high performance transparent conductive electrode for flexible electrochromic devices

The metal grid and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) are both promising transparent conductive materials for replacing the indium tin oxide (ITO) in flexible optoelectronics. However, the large empty area that exists in the grid together with the relatively high sheet resistance of RGO hinder both the materials for practical applications. In this work, we report for the first time a novel strategy for efficient combination of the metal grid and RGO by using a newly developed room-temperature reduction technique. The obtained RGO/metal grid hybrid films not only overcome the shortcomings of individual components but exhibit enhanced optical and electrical performances (R_s = 18 Ω sq⁻¹ and T = 80%) and excellent flexural endurance. With this hybrid film as the window electrode, a highly flexible electrochromic device with excellent stability and ultra-fast response shorter than 60 ms has been successfully fabricated. Considering its high efficiency, high quality, low cost and large area, the strategy would be particularly useful for economically fabricating various metal grid/RGO films which are quite promising high performance transparent and conductive materials for next generation optoelectronic devices.

WO3/CeO2/YSZ nanocomposite as a potential catalyst for methanol reforming

A WO₃/CeO₂/YSZ nanocomposite material [W/Zr nominal atomic ratio = 0.025, Ce/Zr nominal atomic ratio = 0.020] was prepared by wet impregnation and characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopic techniques, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis.Both tungsten and cerium oxides are significantly reduced at the interface with YSZ: Ce(III), in particular, seems to be the prevailing species.The interaction of the WO₃/CeO₂/YSZ nanopowder with pyridine and CO₂ allowed to investigate the acidic/basic sites. Weak contributions at 1602, 1625 and 1647 cm⁻¹ suggest the presence of Lewis and Brønsted acidic sites, whereas basic sites are not evidenced by the interaction with carbon dioxide. The presence of tungsten oxide causes the decrement of the acidic/basic sites, as indicated by the comparison with the results obtained on the CeO₂/YSZ support. Consistently, the interaction with methanol is mainly molecular.The oxidation of methanol was investigated both in the absence and in the presence of water. In the last case carbon dioxide starts forming from room temperature.

Examining the use of Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles to enhance the NH<Subscript>3</Subscript> sensitivity of polypyrrole films

Summary Polypyrrole (PPy) composite films with different contents of Fe₃O₄ were prepared by in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solutions. The dependence of dc current changes on the response of the samples exposure to NH₃ vapor has been investigated. The results shows the composite films are more stable than the pristine ones after being exposed to NH₃ vapor. Meanwhile, the response time was reduced with increasing the Fe₃O₄ content in the films. The results might be originated from the structural changes in the PPy films caused by the addition of Fe₃O₄.     

Solid-state potentiometric SO2 sensor combining NASICON with V2O5-doped TiO2 electrode

A compact tubular sensor based on NASICON (sodium super ionic conductor) and V₂O₅-doped TiO₂ sensing electrode was designed for the detection of SO₂. In order to reduce the size of the sensor, a thick-film of NASICON was formed on the outer surface of a small Al₂O₃ tube; furthermore, a thin layer of V₂O₅-doped TiO₂ with nanometer size was attached on the NASICON as a sensing electrode. This paper investigated the influence of V₂O₅ doping and sintering temperature on the characteristics of the sensor. The sensor attached with 5 wt% V₂O₅-doped TiO₂ sintered at 600 °C exhibited excellent sensing properties to 1–50 ppm SO₂ in air at 200–400 °C. The EMF value of the sensor was almost proportional to the logarithm of SO₂ concentration and the sensitivity (slope) was −78 mV/decade at 300 °C. It was also seen that the sensor showed a good selectivity to SO₂ against NO, NO₂, CH₄, CO, NH₃ and CO₂. Moreover, the sensor had speedy response kinetics to SO₂ too, the 90% response time to 50 ppm SO₂ was 10 s, and the recovery time was 35 s. On the basis of XPS analysis for the SO₂-adsorbed sensing electrode, a sensing mechanism involving the mixed potential at the sensing electrode was proposed.     

Electrical response of Sm2O3-doped SnO2 to C2H2 and effect of humidity interference

Pure and Sm₂O₃-doped SnO₂ are prepared through a sol–gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The sensor based on 6 wt% Sm₂O₃-doped SnO₂ displays superior response at an operating temperature of 180 °C, and the response magnitude to 1000 ppm C₂H₂ can reach 63.8, which is 16.8 times larger than that of pure SnO₂. This sensor also shows high sensitivity under various humidity conditions. These results make our product be a good candidate in fabricating C₂H₂ sensors.
