PG - 27080-27088 LID - 10.1021/acsomega.1c03658 [doi] AB - An electronic textile-based NO(2) gas sensor was fabricated using commercial silk and graphene oxide (GO). It showed a fast response time and excellent sensing performance, which was simply accomplished by modifying the heat-treatment process. The heat treatment was conducted at 400 degrees C and different heating rates of 1, 3, and 5 degrees C/min. Compared with our previous research, the response time significantly decreased, from 32.5 to 3.26 min, and we found that the highest response was obtained with the sensor treated at a heating rate of 1 degrees C/min. To find the reason for this enhanced sensing performance, the morphology, structure, and chemical composition of the reduced GO (rGO) were investigated, depending on the thermal treatment process, using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We also measured the temperature-dependent resistance of rGO, which was well described by the fluctuation-induced tunneling (FIT) model. These results revealed that the rGO thermally treated with 1 degrees C/min of heating rate had the largest amount of oxygen groups. This means that the oxygen functional groups play an important role in NO(2) gas-sensing performance. CI - (c) 2021 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society.
