Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of room temperature sensitive semiconductor materials, and in particular to a CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material, a preparation method, a gas sensing element and applications. Background Art

[0002] Layered metal hydroxides are a type of two-dimensional inorganic layered material composed of positively charged metal hydroxide layers, interlayer anions and water molecules. They are usually composed of two-dimensional ultra-thin single-crystalline nanosheets with lateral dimensions ranging from tens of nanometers to several microns and thicknesses of tens of nanometers. They have the characteristics of large specific surface area, flexible composition, replaceable anions, and adjustable interlayer spacing.

[0003] Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are known for their unique layered structure, high porosity, and large surface area, facilitating rapid gas adsorption and desorption. Recent studies have also identified LDHs as promising room-temperature gas-sensing materials with broad application prospects. However, due to their high surface charge and hydrophilicity, LDH nanosheets tend to stack. This leads to a significant reduction in porosity and surface area, hindering their application in highly sensitive sensors. Furthermore, LDHs inherently exhibit poor electrical conductivity, which severely limits their sensing response when exposed to dilute gases. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problem in the prior art that layered double hydroxides have limited sensing response when exposed to rarefied gases, the present invention provides a CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material, a preparation method, a gas sensing element and applications.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material has Zr and Co as central metal ions, a layered crystal structure with a bimetallic central skeleton, and anionic groups between layers of the layered crystal structure, wherein the anionic groups include hydroxide ions, nitrate ions, and fluoride ions.

[0006] A method for preparing the CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material as described above comprises the following steps: Step 1, using isopropyl alcohol aqueous solution as solvent to prepare 2+ 、Zr 4+ Solution A and solution B; Step 2, slowly adding solution B dropwise to solution A and stirring to obtain solution C; Step 3, adding ammonium fluoride to solution C and stirring to obtain solution D; Step 4, adding urea to solution D and stirring to obtain solution E; Step 5, adding graphene oxide rGO to solution E and stirring evenly to obtain a precursor solution F; Step 6: The precursor solution F is subjected to an aging reaction, and then cooled, centrifuged, washed and dried to obtain a CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive powder material.

[0007] Preferably, in step 1, the isopropanol aqueous solution is prepared by mixing analytically pure isopropanol and deionized water in a volume ratio of 1:(0.5-2.0) to obtain the isopropanol aqueous solution; Co in solution A 2+ The concentration is 1.0 mmol·L -1 ; Zr in solution B 4+ The concentration is 5.0 mmol·L -1 .

[0008] Preferably, in step 2, the molar ratio of Co element to Zr element in solution C is 1:(0.2~5.0).

[0009] Preferably, in step 3, F in solution D - The concentration is 1~10 mmol·L -1 .

[0010] Preferably, in step 4, the pH value of solution E is 2-6.

[0011] Preferably, in step 5, the amount of graphene oxide rGO added is 0.1 wt% to 5 wt% of the total mass of the metal salts in solution E.

[0012] Preferably, in step 6, during the aging reaction, the temperature is 90-180° C. and the time is 8-20 h; When cooling, use furnace cooling to room temperature; After centrifugation, the precipitate was washed with deionized water and ethanol respectively; When drying, the temperature is 50~80℃ and the time is 10~40 hours.

[0013] A gas sensor comprising the CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material.

[0014] Application of the CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material in the detection of n-pentanol at room temperature.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material, based on Zr and Co as central metal ions, possesses a layered crystal structure with a bimetallic core skeleton. The concentration, valence, and distribution of Co and Zr ions can be varied and flexibly controlled, resulting in a dual-ion synergistic catalytic sensitivity effect. The layered crystal structure is rich in anionic groups such as hydroxide, nitrate, and fluoride, resulting in adjustable interlayer spacing and excellent selective adsorption.

[0016] The reduced graphene oxide in the composite material has a large specific surface area, good chemical stability, and excellent electronic conductivity. It exhibits high sensitivity, rapid response, and recovery to n-pentanol molecules at room temperature. Furthermore, the reduced graphene oxide surface contains a small number of defects and oxygen-containing functional groups, which contribute to the material's selective adsorption and sensitive response. Graphene is a typical two-dimensional material with a large surface area, good chemical stability, and excellent electron mobility. Graphene oxide (GO), obtained by further oxidation of graphene, contains numerous defect sites and functional groups, making GO a suitable structure-directing agent for the growth of certain nanoparticles. The composite material of LDH and reduced graphene oxide combines the excellent physical and chemical properties of both LDH and graphene, while overcoming the poor conductivity and easy aggregation of graphene sheets associated with LDH. The gas-sensing advantages of the reduced graphene oxide / LDH composite material are its high sensitivity, high selectivity, good stability, low operating temperature, and excellent electron mobility. These properties make this material promising for broad application in gas sensors, particularly in electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

[0017] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a CoZr-LDH / rGO composite sensitive material. Co(NO3)2·6H2O and Zr(NO3)4·5H2O are used as raw materials. The two metal salts are dissolved in an isopropanol aqueous solution. The volume ratio of isopropanol to water is precisely controlled to control the supersaturation of the raw materials, thereby influencing the nucleation and growth of the LDH material during the hydrothermal reaction. Urea is used to adjust the pH value of the solution and the valence state of the metal ions. Ammonium fluoride is selected as an ionic intercalation agent to regulate the interlayer spacing and the arrangement of anions between the layers of the CoZr-LDH, altering the electrostatic field between the layers and promoting the selective adsorption and diffusion of target gas molecules. GO is added to a precursor solution at a specific concentration ratio. Hydrothermal treatment is performed to control the thermal reduction process to produce rGO. Simultaneously, the pH value of the precursor is adjusted to control the hydrolysis and reaction degree of the metal salts, promoting the growth of the CoZr-LDH / rGO heterogeneous interface and the formation of the target material. This method has low preparation cost, easy operation, and strong controllability. It can effectively improve the adsorption and sensitivity effect of the material to target gas molecules, reduce the activation energy of the material's sensitivity, and achieve room temperature sensitivity.

[0018] This preparation method can achieve controllable material composition, regulation of interlayer metal ion valence and defect distribution, and obtain materials with specific particle size and morphology. The sensitivity of the obtained product is mainly controlled by the following factors: raw material concentration and ratio, medium pH value, solvent type, ratio of isopropyl alcohol to water, amount of ammonium fluoride, amount of graphene oxide, amount of urea and hydrothermal treatment process.
