Optically functionalized hierarchical hematite assembled silica-titania nanocomposites for hydrocarbon detection: Fiber optic chemical sensor
Mesoporous hematite nanoparticles (HNPs) encapsulated SiO2 -TiO2 nanocomposites (STNC) are synthesized and heat-treated at low-temperature 50 degrees C for 1 h (STNC/1h) and 2h (STNC/2h) by sol-gel process for hydrocarbons chemical sensing. Microscopic analysis revealed the thermally stable hierarch...

Mesoporous hematite nanoparticles (HNPs) encapsulated SiO2 -TiO2 nanocomposites (STNC) are synthesized and heat-treated at low-temperature 50 degrees C for 1 h (STNC/1h) and 2h (STNC/2h) by sol-gel process for hydrocarbons chemical sensing.

The low surface area of HNPs similar to 55 m(2) /g which is increased up to 289 m(2)/g for H-STNC/2h, is advantageous to enhance sensing device activity. Magnetic properties exhibited the superparamagnetic behavior of H-STNC/2h. The H-STNC/2h coated fiber optic chemical sensor revealed a linear response towards the higher carbon chains, sensitivity is calculated as 5.3 counts per unit variations in the carbon chain at 515 nm with R-2 similar to 0.98.
