Abstract
- Abstract Development of semiconductor sensing materials with fast response requires low reaction barrier between gas species and materials surface, hence contributing to real-time gas monitoring. Herein, mullite SmMn 2 O 5 nanofibers (SNFs), nanotube-in-tubes (NT@NTs), and porous nanotubes (PNTs) have been achieved, via optimized electrospinning technique and annealing procedure. The formation mechanism for present shapes of SmMn 2 O 5 nanostructures was discussed. With respect to the sensing properties to acetone, three sensors prototypes employed with SmMn 2 O 5 NT@NTs, SNFs and PNTs were built and in detail studied by taking SmMn 2 O 5 SNFs sensor as an example. Delightfully, the sensor exhibited the response and recovery time as short as 3 s and 8 s at 300 °C, respectively. The intrinsic high catalytic activity of SmMn 2 O 5 lowers the sensing reaction barrier, which might contribute to the reaction kinetics thereby the fast sensing behavior. This work provides synthetic strategies towards one-dimensional (1D) mullite families and the novel material for acetone gas detection would facilitate further development of gas sensing. Graphical abstract fx1 Highlights • Mullite SmMn 2 O 5 solid nanofibers (SNFs), nanotube@tubes and porous nanotubes are firstly synthesized via electrospinning. • The unique shapes of 1D mullite SmMn 2 O 5 are tuned by optimized annealing. • The mullite sensors exhibit fast response and recovery to acetone (3 s and 8 s), for the real-time monitoring.
