Estudo morfológico e de transporte eletrônico em nanoestruturas de ZnO para aplicações em sensor /

Silva, Ranilson Angelo da. January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Marcelo Ornaghi Orlandi / Banca: Silvio Rainho Teixeira / Banca: Neftal Lenin Villarreal Carreño / Banca: José Roberto Siqueira Junior / Banca: Regina Célia Galvão Frem / Resumo: A eficiência dos materiais semicondutores óxidos metálicos utilizados em dispositivos sensores, depende fortemente de parâmetros morfológicos e estruturais. É de grande interesse que os materiais apresentem um elevado grau nos parâmetros de medidas que definem um bom sensor, como: sinal, sensibilidade, seletividade. Devido a isso, métodos de sínteses adequados têm grande influência no desempenho dos dispositivos, já que interferem diretamente na morfologia e estrutura dos materiais semicondutores. Através dessa perspectiva, nesse trabalho, morfologias do composto semicondutor óxido metálico ZnO foram superficialmente modificadas com o intuito de realizar melhorias para aplicações em sensores de gás e de radiação luminosa (fotocondução) na faixa do ultravioleta. Dois métodos de sínteses foram utilizados: i) evaporação térmica por redução carbotérmica e ii) hidrotermal assistido por micro-ondas, responsáveis por obter morfologias tipo tetrapés e estrelas multipontas, respectivamente. Processos de evaporação térmica por redução carbotérmica tem a grande vantagem de obter estruturas com morfologias unidimensionais, em contrapartida, o método hidrotermal assistido por micro-ondas pode sintetizar uma enorme gama de diferentes morfologias com a vantagem de ser um processo rápido e de baixos custos energéticos. Técnicas como microscopia eletrônica de varredura, microscopia eletrônica de transmissão, difração de raios-X, espectroscopia ultravioleta visível e infravermelho, foram utili...

Characterisation of the surface reactions and gas sensing properties of zinc oxide nanosheets

Jones, Daniel Raymond January 2015 (has links)
In this work, zinc oxide nanosheets are synthesised through thermal decomposition of a layered basic zinc acetate precursor and implemented in sensors to investigate the reactions of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane. The mean size of nanoparticles within the nanosheets is shown to increase with annealing temperature, and sintering occurs after heating at temperatures of 700°C or higher. X-ray photoelectron and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques demonstrate that the concentrations of both lattice oxygen species and oxygen-containing surface groups may be enhanced by increasing the annealing temperature. By using an Eley-Rideal-based physical model, the responses of the nanosheets to carbon monoxide are quantitatively related to the reaction parameters of the system. The response characteristics suggest that the carbon monoxide oxidation has activation energy 54 +/- 9 kJ mol-1 while oxygen ionosorption has an energy barrier of 72 +/- 9 kJ mol-1. The sensor recoveries are consistent with corresponding values of 42 +/- 7 kJ mol-1 and 63 +/- 10 kJ mol?¹ for carbon monoxide oxidation and oxygen ionosorption, respectively. In the absence of O- or CO2- surface ions, the energy difference between the Fermi level and the conduction band minimum at the surface is estimated as 590 +/- 90 meV at temperatures close to 400°C. The hydrogen responses of non-functionalised sensors are found to converge at 440°C, despite differing at lower temperatures. This observation is incompatible with the developed model, but it is shown that the phenomenon may be rationalised by considering that the hydrogen concentration close to the sensor surface is decreased due to the rapidity of hydrogen oxidation. Gold nanoparticles significantly enhance the hydrogen response, with gold-decorated nanosheets remaining sensitive to hydrogen below 150°C. Poor sensor recovery is attributed to the formation of long-lived hydroxyl groups formed during hydrogen spillover from the gold surface.

Para isto, eletrodos à base de pasta de carbono e nanotubos de carbono foram modificados com diversos complexos potenciais catalisadores biomiméticos das enzimas P450, que são enzimas que catalisam um grande número de reações incluindo os agrotóxicos. O complexo que apresentou perfil biomimético e melhores resultados na determinação amperométrica do metribuzin foi à ftalocianinacobalto (II) [CoPc]. Quando construídos sensores à base de pasta de carbono modificada com CoPc, os melhores resultados foram obtidos usando 15% (m/m) de complexo na preparação da pasta e realizando as medidas em tampão Britton-Robinson 0,08 mol L-1 (pH 2,0), aplicando potencial de -690 mV vs Ag|AgCl. Sob estas condições obteve-se uma faixa linear de resposta de 2,4 x 10-5 a 2,0 x 10-4 mol L-1, com uma boa sensibilidade e LOD e LOQ de 4,3 x 10-6 e 1,4 x 10-5 mol L-1, respectivamente. Estudos relacionados a elucidar a biomimeticidade do sensor, incluíram avaliação da influência da velocidade de varredura empregando voltametria cíclica, exploração do perfil hiperbólico da resposta do sensor e estudo de interferentes e de seletividade. A seguir, foi avaliada a influencia de nanotubos de carbono de paredes múltiplas (MWCNT) na preparação da pasta no intuito de tentar aumentar a detectabilidade do sensor modificado com ftalocianinacobalto (II). Entretanto, os resultados obtidos não foram àqueles esperados, devido principalmente, à grande quantidade de material aglutinante (Nujol® que é isolante) necessário para a obtenção da pasta. Assim, a seguir, foi realizada a avaliação de eletrodos impressos à base de grafite, contendo MWCNT a 0,3% e CoPc a 5%, 10% e 15% (m/m). Sob as condições de... / This work is based on the construction of biomimetic sensors for monitoring sensitive and selective pesticide metribuzin (MTZ). For this, the base electrodes of carbon paste and carbon nanotubes have been modified with various complex catalysts potential biomimetic of P450 enzymes, which are enzymes that catalyze a large number of reactions including pesticides. The complex profile that showed better results in biomimetic and amperometric determination of metribuzin was the ftalocianinacobalto (II) [CoPc]. When constructed sensors based on a modified carbon paste CoPc with the best results were obtained using 15% (m/ m) complex in the preparation of the folder and making the measurements in Britton-Robinson buffer 0,08 mol L-1 (pH 2,0), by applying potential to -690 mV vs Ag | AgCl. Under these conditions gave a linear response range of 2.4 x 10-5 to 2.0 x 10-4 mol L-1, and with good sensitivity and LOQ and LOD of 4,3 x 10-6 and 1 , 4 x 10-5 mol L-1, respectively. Related studies to elucidate the biomimeticidade sensor, included evaluation of the influence of scan rate using cyclic voltammetry, exploitation of hyperbolic profile of the sensor response and the study of interferences and selectivity. Next, we evaluated the influence of carbon nanotubes multi-walled (MWCNT) in the preparation of the folder in order to try to increase the detectability of the sensor modified with ftalocianinacobalto (II). However, the results were not those expected, mainly due to the large amount of binder material (Nujol ® which is an insulator) necessary for obtaining the paste. Thus, the following evaluation was made electrodes printed based on graphite containing MWCNT CoPc 0,3% and 5%, 10% and 15% (m / m). Under the above conditions optimized for the analysis carbon paste, the printed electrode that provided the best... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
