Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gas sensor preparation, and particularly relates to an acetone sensor, a preparation method and a detection method.
Background
At present, acetone is widely applied to organic solvents and chemical plant raw materials, and is a toxic and harmful organic solvent. Acetone can irritate nose and throat, and once the concentration exceeds 450mg/m 3 (173ppm), headache, dizziness and nervous system injury can be caused. Meanwhile, the detection of acetone in the breath is a noninvasive, rapid and effective diabetes diagnosis method. In order to prevent acetone leakage and effectively detect diabetes, it is important and urgent to detect acetone quickly and accurately.
Semiconductor Metal Oxide (MOS) based gas sensors have excellent sensing performance and are widely used for the detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), such as methanol, ethanol, ammonia, acetone, and hydrogen sulfide. Compared with other gas detection methods, the method has the advantages of low cost, simple manufacture, easy integration and the like. alpha-Fe 2 O 3 As a sensitive material for acetone detection, there is generally a fast response and higher sensitivity, but a lower detection limit and a lower optimal temperature remain challenges.
The addition of other dopants also has a large impact on its gas-sensing properties. Doping affects sensing performance by creating lattice defects, oxygen vacancies, and grain size reduction in the sensing material. Different from other dopants, the noble metal has a special electronic structure and chemical properties, which can reduce the activation energy of adsorption and reaction, influence the distribution of current carriers, and improve the transfer efficiency of electrons, thereby improving the gas-sensitive performance. Chen et al synthesized Pt-doped NiO nanofibers with a sensor pair of 50ppm C 2 H 6 The sensitivity of (2) was improved from 4.67 to 29.14(W.G.Chen, Q.ZHou, F.Wan, S.D.Peng, W.Zeng, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Letters,5(2013) 1231-1236.). However, the influence of the addition of the dopant on the gas-sensitive performance is usually adjusted by the doping amount, and the precise holding of the doping amount has certain difficulty. How to do with alpha-Fe 2 O 3 The gas sensitive material is modified to improve the content of alpha-Fe 2 O 3 The gas-sensitive characteristics of the sensor; how to achieve high gas-sensitive performance by finding precise doping amountAnd (5) amplitude is increased.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows: existing based on alpha-Fe 2 O 3 The working temperature and the detection lower limit of the sensor are higher, so that effective detection of gas with lower concentration is difficult to realize; the amount of dopant added has certain difficulties.
