Technical Field
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a carcinogenic Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in indoor air pollution and poses a serious threat to human health. Is widely used for manufacturing building materials and can be released from household products. Low HCHO levels (1-3ppm) can cause irritation of the nose and eyes, and levels above 15ppm can lead to death. Therefore, an effective HCHO detection method is very important and is healthy and environmentally friendly to the human body. Over the last several decades, a variety of sensors with different sensing mechanisms have been developed for detecting formaldehyde gas. Semiconductor oxide sensors are currently the most widely used class of gas sensors. When the semiconductor oxide sensitive material is used for detecting formaldehyde gas, generally, based on that formaldehyde gas molecules and oxygen species adsorbed on the surface of the sensitive material generate oxidation-reduction reaction, the effective specific surface area of metal oxide can be improved by regulating and controlling a nano structure or surface functionalization, and then the gas-sensitive performance of the metal oxide can be improved. For example, Wang et al SnO prepared by solvothermal methods2The sensitivity of the microspheres to 100ppm formaldehyde was 38.3. The good gas-sensitive performance of the gas sensor is attributed to three factors of a special spherical structure, a large specific surface area and proper particle size of surface composition particles; successful preparation of SnO by Sun et al using sacrificial template method2/Zn2SnO4Porous hollow microspheres having a sensitivity to 500ppm formaldehyde of 131.6 at 330 ℃; gu et al obtained porous NiO/SnO using a simple chemical solution route coupled with a subsequent calcination process2Microspheres with a sensitivity of 27.6 to 100ppm formaldehyde at 200 ℃; in addition, various nanostructured metal oxide materials such as Co3O4Nanocubes and In2O3The use of nanosheets for formaldehyde detection has also been reported.
The novel nano structures have the advantages and disadvantages in the aspects of sensitivity, selectivity and the like, for example, some of the formaldehyde sensors have the advantages of low development cost and simplicity in operation, but have the problems of high working temperature and low sensitivity. Some formaldehyde sensors have low working temperature, even can reach room temperature, and have low detection limit, but have high development cost and a larger distance from practical application.
The formaldehyde sensor is low in price, low in sensitivity and poor in anti-interference capability, and cannot meet the huge market demand of the household environment-friendly industry. Compared with zero-dimensional, one-dimensional and three-dimensional formaldehyde sensitive materials, the two-dimensional oxide sensitive material is concerned by the characteristics of high specific surface area, rich active sites, directional electron conduction and the like.
