Abstract:
This paper reports on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), tin oxide (SnO2) and polyvinylidene fuoride (PVDF) tertiary nanocomposite thick flm based fexible gas sensor. The nanocomposite of 0.90(PVDF)−0.10[x(SnO2)−(1−x)rGO] with diferent weight percentages (x=0, 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75, 0.90 and 1) have been prepared by the hot press method. Chromium (Cr) has been deposited on the surface by using E-beam evaporation system, which is used as electrode of the device. Crystal structure, morphology, and electrical characteristics of the device have been explored for the technological application. A correlation between crystallinity, morphology, and electrical properties with these thick flms has also been established. The device has been tested at diferent hydrogen (H2) gas concentration as well as at diferent response times. A superior response of 0.90(PVDF)−0.10[0.75(SnO2)−0.25 rGO] nanocomposite thick flm has been observed. Hence, this composition is considered as optimized tertiary nanocomposite for the hydrogen gas sensor application. The sensor response of 49.2 and 71.4% with response time 34sec and 52sec for 100 PPM and 1000 PPM H2 gas concentration respectively have been obtained. First time a new kind of low cost and fexible polymer based nanocomposite thick flm gas sensor has been explored.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
