Simple method for the fabrication of 1-hydroxypyrene-imprinted TiO2 gel nanofilms

Mechanistic understanding of the sensing process by analyzing response curves of TiO2 based humidity sensors

“…It has been used as sensor for detecting various gases like hydrogen [24,26,27], nitrogen dioxide [28,29], ammonia [30,31], acetone [32], propanol [33], methane [34], humidity [35] and many others. It has also been tested in various forms like TiO 2 nanoparticles [12,36], thick films [37,38], thin films [29,39], nanomaterials [27,40,41], films [25,34], etc. The performance of any sensor can be improved by understanding the underlying mechanism and identifying parameters that control the sensing response.…”

Pre-concentration and in situ electrochemical sensing of 1-hydroxypyrene on an electrodeposited poly(3-methylthiophene) film modified electrode

“…Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), resulting from incomplete combustion of carbon based fuels, are a large class of ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants in the environment, water and food [1][2][3]. PAHs are human health hazards and a number of them are considered as dangerous environmental contaminants because of their carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic properties [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Inorganic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer by Sol-Gel Process for Recognition of Caffeine

“…This technique is a very useful approach for the fabrication of a matrix with molecular recognition sites that are formed by the addition of template molecules during the matrix formation process, and for the removal of the template molecule after the matrix formation [1][2][3][4][5]. Molecularly imprinted matrixes have been developed for over a decade in many fields, such as chromatography, catalysis, artificial antibodies, and sensing devices [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
