Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the major air pollutants inside vehicles. In this research, a highly sensitive gas sensor was developed based on an excellent sensing material and explored for VOCs sensing application. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were
performed to evaluate the detailed structural features of sensing material. From the gas-sensing property tests to the three representative VOCs vapors, containing xylene, toluene and formaldehyde, the gas sensor fabricated from the exceptional sensing material significantly responses to the
three VOCs vapors. In particular, the xylene response of the sensor is slightly larger than the other two gas response. Thus, the fabricated sensor could be a promising application for VOCs detection inside vehicles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
