Gold particles decorated reduced graphene oxide for low level mercury vapor detection with rapid response at room temperature

Rapid and sensitive detection of mercury vapor is of great significance for environmental protection and human health. But the detection method enabling low detection limitation and rapid response at room temperature simultaneously has rarely been reported. In this work, we propose a gold particles...

Gold particles decorated reduced graphene oxide for low level mercury vapor detection with rapid response at room temperature
description Rapid and sensitive detection of mercury vapor is of great significance for environmental protection and human health. But the detection method enabling low detection limitation and rapid response at room temperature simultaneously has rarely been reported. In this work, we propose a gold particles decorated reduced graphene oxide sensor for mercury vapor detection. After adding the gold particles, the reduced graphene oxide sensors’ response sensitivity increase by more than 16 times and the response time significantly decreases, which is far less below the results reported by others. The sensor performance improvement should attribute to the distribution of the decorated gold particles, which insert into the layered graphene sheets, as demonstrated by the SEM and XRD results. The increased layer spacing of graphene sheets is conductive to the faster entry/exit of mercury vapor and increases the effective sensing area of graphene. What’s more, the first-principles calculation results confirm the mercury-philicity of gold particles, which also contributes to the increased sensitivity. We further test more performance of the gold particles decorated reduced graphene oxide sensor to mercury vapor, which shows a linear response, low detection limit and good repeatability. The proposed sensor shows rapid response/recovery (6/8 s), low detection limit (0.01 ng/mL), linear response, good repeatability and room temperature detection simultaneously, which shows great application potential for mercury vapor detection.
