Investigation of Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Modified by Platinum Nanoparticles as Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Dolati, Abolghasem (Supervisor) ; Ghorbani, Mohamad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The present research describes sensing behavior of modified aligned carbon nanotubes toward detection of hydrogen sulfide. Aligned carbon nanotubes were grown on etched stainless steel by thermal chemical vapor deposition. Obtained CNTs have curved closed tips and bamboo like structure. Purification of carbon nanotubes were performed by electrochemical oxidation of CNTs. Potential cycling was applied on grown CNTs in different acid solutions and 0.2 M sulfuric acid was chosen to oxidize the CNTs. Carboxylic functional groups were produced by electrochemical oxidation of CNTs and can be observed in FTIR studies. These groups enhanced the electrochemical properties of electrodes and may act as...
Doping Effect of Copper and Copper Oxide on H2S Sensing of Nanostructured WO3
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Iraji Zad, Azam (Supervisor)
Abstract
The aim of this research is preparation of tungsten trioxide nanoparticles film for hydrogen sulfide gas sensing. These nanoparticles were made by simple and inexpensive sol-gel method. To improve gas sensing properties, various precursors of copper and copper oxides were added to the sol. This solution was coated on alumina substrate by spin coating method. After annealing, sensing properties of samples were studied by measuring the electrical resistance. Best precursor and its molar percentage of copper to tungsten were selected (WO3-Cu2O (1%)). All tests for this sample were done in temperatures below 100 °C and gas concentration lower than 10 ppm. Sensitivity of WO3-Cu2O (1%) to 1 ppm...
H2S Gas Sensing Characterization of Nano-Structured SnO2-CuO Multilayer Sensor
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghorbani, Mohammad (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, is a toxic gas and has detrimental effects on human health and the oil and gas industry. Therefore, its identification is very important. According to the devastating effects of this gas, then, the general mechanisms have been studied for gas detection. In addition, by highlighting the benefits of the multilayer nanostructure electrochemical sensors, an applicable and efficient method for the industrial production of these sensors has been investigated. In this regard, the sol-gel method is used to prepare the SnO2-CuO multilayer thin film and the advantages of this method was compared to PVD method. Also sensor properties of both deposition methods have been...
Modeling for Sensing Behavior of SnO2-CuO Nanostructures toward H2S Gas
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Ghorbani, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Mohammadpour, Raheleh (Supervisor)
Abstract
H2S is a toxic and corrosive gas which is detrimental for both human’s health and some of important industries such as oil and gas. Based on different experimental research among various systems, resistive sensors fabricated from SnO2-CuO nanostructures have promising performance toward detection of this gas. High sensitivity and selectivity, response time of order of seconds, recovery times of order of tens of seconds and determining concentration of H2S gas below ppm level are advantages of this system. Unfortunately due to lack of a theoretical model, current experimental researches are excessively based on “trial and error” methodology. In this research some of the basic questions which...
