Silicene and graphene nano materials in gas sensing mechanism
2016
Silicene, the Si analogue of graphene, has recently extended the short list of existing two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals. There are many remarkable electrical properties as well as unique thermal conductivities associated with graphene and silicene making them perfect materials that possess great potential to replace and provide an even better performance than silicon in future generation semiconductor devices. It is expected that novel devices developed with these will be much faster and smaller in size than their contemporary counterparts. Although graphene and silicene display different electrical conductivity behavior, their carrier concentration has similar behavior. The current–voltage characteristics of silicene/graphene field effect transistors (FETs) have been demonstrated at different operating temperatures under the flow of different NH3 gas concentrations. It was found that in similar conditions, the suggested model for a gas sensor based on graphene shows higher electrical conductivity compared to silicene.
