Technology Introduction: 1. The β-Ga₂O₃ (Sn) nanorod thin film fabricated in this study exhibits a rapid response time of 2 seconds, an efficient recovery time of 4 seconds, and a detection limit of 30 ppb for nitric oxide (NO) gas. 2. The doping ratio of tin (Sn) causes the nanostructure of β-Ga₂O₃ to gradually transform from a rod-like to a spindle-like morphology. 3. Post-annealing under an oxygen atmosphere improves the gas sensing mechanism. Industry Applicability: 1. In modern medical diagnostics, exhaled breath analysis plays a vital role. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels typically range from 25 to 80 ppb, with levels exceeding 50 ppb considered elevated in asthma patients. This technique can be applied in asthma monitoring and smart healthcare devices. 2. It is also applicable to environmental sensing modules for use in automotive exhaust control, emission detection and the monitoring of explosive gases in various industrial fields.
Future Tech | Materials ＆ Chemical Engineering ＆ NanotechTechnology Introduction: For sustainable energy-efficient applications, through advanced optical engineering, our novel passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) materials exhibit high average reflectivity or transparency (>95%) in the solar wavelength region and high average emissivity (>95%) in the atmosphere window wavelength region. We anticipate that these PDRC materials will effectively mitigate the urban heat island effect, improve the low-grade waste heat recovery and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Industry Applicability: The PDRC metamaterials can provide the great potential to accelerate the pace of net-zero emissions to limit global warming. Also, PDRC films provide a facile, eco-friendly cooling solution to dissipate trapped heat in optoelectronic devices, such as solar panels. The attractive power generation ability of the PDRC/TEG system suggests its great potential in low-grade waste heat recovery and environmental energy harvesting by consistently generating power in both the daytime and nighttime.
