Self-assembled titanium-based hybrids with cyclopentadienyl–titanium network bonding

Abstract

Unprecedented stable hybrid materials with cyclopentadienyl-titanium bonds have been obtained from the hydrolysis of suitable precursors. Their inorganic network is not fully condensed and they show variable short-range self-organizations, the type of which depends on the shape of the ligands.

Nanosheet-Assembled ZnFe2O4 Hollow Microspheres for High-Sensitive Acetone Sensor

“…Because of the outstanding characteristics of easy manufacture, low power consumption, and cost, gas sensors are regarded as one of the effective approaches to the detection of toxic, harmful, flammable, and explosive gases. The basic working principle for oxide semiconductors gas sensors such as α-Fe 2 O 3 , 1,2 ZnO, 3,4 SnO 2 , 5−8 In 2 O 3 , 9,10 WO 3 11,12 (n-type) and Co 3 O 4 , 13,14 NiO 15,16 (p-type), et al, 17 is that the interactions between the surface adsorbed oxygen species and target gases lead to a remarkable change in the resistance. Therefore, the composition, crystalline size, surface morphology, and microstructure of oxide semiconductors play essential roles in determining the sensing properties.…”

Highly crystalline and ordered nanoporous SnO2 thin films with enhanced acetone sensing property at room temperature

“…[19][20][21] Toupance et al have set up a new organometallic solution route toward self-assembled organotin-based hybrid thin films based on the design of suitable sol-gel precursors. 22 Thus, nanoporous organotin-based hybrid thin films showed unexpected selectivity for hydrogen gas sensing at moderate temperature. 23,24 Furthermore, UV-treated or calcined hybrid thin films yielded excellent sensitivity toward hydrogen and carbon monoxide.…”
