Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of TiO2 Nanorods for Hydrazine Sensing

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the synthesis, characterization, and application of tita-nium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods for the purpose of hydrazine chemical sensing. The nanorods were efficiently prepared through a low-temperature chemical synthesis process, and a detail characterization process was undertaken to assess their structural, morphological, compositional, and sensing properties. Employing sophis-ticated techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the morphological characterizations unveiled a high-density growth of diminutive nanorods.

The fabricated sensor exhibited commendable sensitivity, registering a current response of 4.69 mu A center dot mu M-1 center dot cm-2, coupled with a remarkably low detection limit of 174 mu M. The outcomes of this investigation underscore the promising role of TiO2 nanorods as effective electron mediators in chemical sensor design. This work estab-lishes a foundation for the development of sensors capable of detecting a spectrum of hazardous and toxic chemicals, with a specific emphasis on hydrazine.
