- The length of single crystalline nanowires (NWs) offers aperfect pathway for electron transfer, while the small diameter of the NWshampers thermal losses to tje environment, substrate, and metal electrodes.Therefore, Joule self-heating effect is nearly ideal for operating NW gassensors at ultralow power consumption, without additional heaters. Therealization of the self-heated NW sensors using the “pick and place”approach is complex, hardly reproducible, low yield, and not applicable formass production. Here, we present the sensing capability of the self-heatednetworked SnO2 NWs effectively prepared by on-chip growth. Ourdeveloped self-heated sensors exhibit a good response of 25.6 to 2.5 ppmNO2 gas, while the response to 500 ppm H2, 100 ppm NH3, 100 ppm H2S,and 500 ppm C2H5OH is very low, indicating the good selectivity of thesensors to NO2 gas. Furthermore, the detection limit is very low, down to 82parts-per-trillion. As-obtained sensing performance under self-heating modeis nearly identical to that under external heating mode. While the power consumption under self-heating mode is extremely low,around hundreds of microwatts, as scaled-down the size of the electrode is below 10 μm. The selectivity of the sensors can becontrolled simply by tuning the loading power that enables simple detection of NO2 in mixed gases. Remarkable performancetogether with a significantly facile fabrication process of the present sensors enhances the potential application of NW sensors innext generation technologies such as electronic noses, the Internet of Things, and smartphone sensing.

Self-heating Effect on Tin Oxide Nanowire Network Gas Sensor
- 2014

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Self-heated gas sensors have attracted much of interests owing to the ultra-low power consumption as well as simple device fabrication. However, it still requires further improvement to overcome some technical difficulties such as high operation voltage, long-term stability, and mass production. In this work, we propose a nanowire nework structure to solve these problems. The self-heating effect on fabricated structures was tested and working temperature was evaluated by base resistance measurement and infrared emission microscopy methods. The fabricated sensor consumed an electric power of about 40 mW to reach the working temperature up to 250 oC. The NO2 sensing properties were initially studied on this sensor structure.
