Highly sensitive detection of explosive triacetone triperoxide by an In2O3sensor

Abstract: Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is one of the most sensitive known explosives and can be easily synthesized using the commonly available chemicals acetone and hydrogen peroxide, but is difficult to be detected. In this study, In(2)O(3) nanoparticles were synthesized by a glucose-assisted solvothermal method at 120 degrees C for 18 h. The gas sensor based on In(2)O(3) nanoparticles exhibits a high response, fast response and recovery, a wide detecting range of 0.50-500 mg, good stability and excellent stability t… Show more

“…Sensitive detection of explosive or toxic gases is an area of active research. 92,93 In terms of sensitivity and speed of detection, sensors based on carbon nanotubes and semiconducting nanowires 79,94 are far more efficient than conventional sensors based on semiconducting metal oxides ordered in thin films or thick mesoporous layers. However, devices based on carbon nanotubes or semiconducting nanowires generally suffer from high noise levels and low reproducibility due to the high statistical variations between single nanowire devices.…”

“…[35][36][37][38][39] Overlayers and admixtures were created using two types of zeolite, H-Zeolite Socony Mobil (ZSM)-5 and Titanium Silicate (TS)-1. H-ZSM-5 has been shown to improve sensitivity of WO 3 sensors to NO 2 , so it was anticipated that it may do the same for molecules containing an -NO 2 group.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] However these detectors are expensive to run and maintain, for example a canine for explosives detection costs up to $6,000 to train and a Dept. of Security and Crime Science, University College London, 35 10 Metal oxide semiconducting gas sensors (MOS sensors) are a low cost and increasingly reliable form of vapour detector. Their ease of production and small size gives them great potential for a commercial explosives detector; however, they often lack the crucial sensitivity and selectivity to detect low vapour pressure materials such as RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane) or TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene).…”

“…Of course using electrochemical detection of TATP precursors is not a new concept [8,25,26]. The Vladimir [27] team introduced a good response with nano-spring-based sensors for gases such as TATP precursors, as well as determining conditions for In 2 O 3 [28] and WO 3 [29] but still did not achieve operation at room temperature. The application of graphene in chemical gas sensors is receiving more and more attention [30,31].…”
