Rezumat

Engineering heterostructured nanomaterials for nanoelectronics, as well as for biomedical applications have attracted huge attention in the past decade. It is because heterostructured nanomaterials are constructed by two or more single-component nanoparticles with certain structure, order of nanolayers and synergistically enhanced functional properties. Heterostructures made of nanoparticles and nanostructured thin films or metal-organic frameworks are integrating advantages of porosity, nanosize, structure, optical and electrical performances. Recently, diverse nano-heterostructured materials are engineered and grown through various approaches and strategies and have proved promising potential for applications in battery safety sensors (BAS), gas, vapor and UV sensors, as well as biosensensors for biomedical applications [1-7]. Novel two-in-one battery safety sensors have been developed based on the CuO/Cu2O and TiO2/CuO/Cu2O heterostructures, as an example of real application [1-4]. These sensors enable early detection of solvents or the vapors of their degassing products, which are produced by Li-Ion batteries at the onset of runaway [1-5]. Coating ZnO nanocolumns using Al2O3 and thermally annealing offers the resulting Al2O3/ZnO heterostructure that enhances the gas sensing properties towards the detection of the components in the electrolytes of the lithium-ion batteries. Columnar films of Al2O3/ZnO with a thickness of 10 nm for the top-coating layer exhibit the highest sensitivity and selectivity towards the vapors of C3H4O10. Experimental and computed results indicate that relative humidity will not affect the sensing properties of the such heterostructures towards the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and degassing products used in the electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries [1-6]. As well as, new 2-in-1 sensor for NH3 and H2 detection is discussed, which ensure stable, precise and very selective characteristics for the tracking of these vapors at low concentrations. The fabricated TiO2 layers, which were annealed at 610 °C formed two crystal phases, anatase and rutile, and after coverage with a thin PV4D4 polymer nanolayer via initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD), show response to ammonia at room temperature and exclusive hydrogen detection at elevated operating temperatures. These results open new possibilities for applications, e.g. like biomedical diagnosis, biosensors, and the development of non-invasive technology [7]. Compared to unprotected CuO/Cu2O/ZnO:Fe the coated CuO/Cu2O/ZnO:Fe exhibit a much better sensing performance at higher relative humidity and tunability of the gas selectivity [3]. The higher responses to specific volatile organic compounds, VOCs, are controlled and tailored for the samples synergistically enhanced with dopants and nanoparticles simultaneously. In addition, the recovery times are reduced for the developed nanocolumnar layers for a range of operating temperatures. The response of the synergistically enhanced sensors to gas molecules containing certain functional groups is in excellent agreement with density functional theory calculations performed in our work too [8]. This new fabrication strategy can underpin the next generation of advanced materials for photocatalytic, VOC, and gas sensing applications and prevent levels that are hazardous to human health and can cause environmental damage. As well as, it can be used for detecting gases used as traces for specific molecules, that act as biomarkers in exhaled breath or outgassing VOCs of various biological systems. Acknowledgments.
