  • Application of V2O5 screen printed sensor for acetone
    Ankita J. Mahaliya, H.N. Kapse
    Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2024
    Vanadium pentoxide has gathered significant attention among transition metal oxide semiconductors over the years due to its applications in various fields. It is a non-stoichiometric and promising material for gas sensing, optoelectronic, microelectronic and electrochemical devices. Vanadium pentoxide has excellent properties including good thermoelectric characteristics, strong chemical and thermal durability, wide optical band gap and multiple valences. These properties make it an excellent choice for the fabrication of innovative electronic devices and functional materials that can work in their intended conditions. Acetone is a hazardous and easily ignited gas that finds extensive applications as a solvent, chemical intermediary, medication and cosmetic. There are several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) inhaled by the people. Acetone is the most volatile of the VOCs and is frequently utilized in industries and laboratories as an organic solvent or chemical intermediary. The normal range of acetone for human breathing is 300ppb – 900ppb. The excess inhalation causes biliousness, indolence and drowsiness of the nervous system as well as irritation of the eyes and respiratory system. The majority of acetone detection methods rely on table top instruments like Mass Spectrometry with Gas Chromatography or Proton Transfer Reaction which are bulky and costly too. In view of this, the present work is focused to detect acetone via chemo-resistive sensing method. We have fabricated screen printed Vanadium pentoxide electrode to sense acetone. The sensitivity was found to be increased with gas concentration. This shows that vanadium pentoxide could be good sensor for acetone detection. The advantage of this sensor is its ease of operation and economy for large scale utilization.
  • Low cost automatic fire alarm and hazard location intimating system for industrial application

    Reliability Theory and Applications, 2021
    Burn tragedy is a significant hazard to human life and properties. Automatic fire alarm device allows for real-time tracking, monitoring and intimation. Once the fire happens, it gives early warning and helps to the fire loss. It is versatile security and alarm system which can be used by individuals, corporations or industrial establishments. The concept behind this project is to have a quick, easy, accurate and low-cost fire sensing and location-intimating device for users to get support in critical situations. The system can be positioned at any remote location that the consumer can quickly access with the aid of GSM technology. In this it is proposed that NodeMCU acquire signals from different sensors and control to manage communication with property owner. This is carried out by sending SMS immediately to owner in initial stage and to fire brigade in critical stage to resolve fire hazard. Different sensors incorporated within system are smoke, fire and flammable gas sensor. It helps to estimate specific threshold values in hazardous condition and alarms the buzzer accordingly. If in high emergency the system sends SMS consisting of the area and address location to the user / in charge person and fire brigade respectively.
