Room Temperature BTX Sensor Based on Zinc Phthalocyanine Thin Film

Abstract

This study deals with comparing interaction mechanisms of 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24)-Tetra-((5-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl)diazenyl) phthalocyaninatozinc(II) (zinc phthalocyanine) thin film with versatile chemical vapours: stable and electron donating aromatic vapours namely; benzene, toluene and xylene. The variation in electrical conductivity of zinc phthalocyanine is used as an indicator of the BTX- zinc phthalocyanine interactions. It was found that, unexpectedly, the exposure of the sensor surface to BTX vapors cause an increase in sensor current. It was observed for low concentrations of BTX vapours that, zinc phthalocyanine based sensor exhibits maximum and minimum sensitivities towards toluene and xylene vapors, respectively. However, the maximum and minimum sensitivities of the sensor gradually changes from xylene to benzene for high concentrations of BTX vapors. These findings was concluded in the framework of reaction activation energy and the presence of some water dissociated species, such as H+ or OH.

Journal Owner: On behalf of Selçuk University Faculty of Science, Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin YILMAZ
Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty accepts articles in Turkish and English with original results in basic sciences and other applied sciences. The journal may also include compilations containing current innovations.

It was first published in 1981 as "S.Ü. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi" and was published under this name until 1984 (Number 1-4).
In 1984, its name was changed to "S.Ü. Fen-Edeb. Fak. Fen Dergisi" and it was published under this name as of the 5th issue.
When the Faculty of Letters and Sciences was separated into the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Letters with the decision of the Council of Ministers numbered 2008/4344 published in the Official Gazette dated 3 December 2008 and numbered 27073, it has been published as "Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty" between 2009-2025. 
It has been scanned in DergiPark since 2016.
