Latest Patents
Oleg Lupan holds a patent for the "Fabrication of ZnO nanorod-based hydrogen gas nanosensor." This invention involves the nanofabrication of a hydrogen gas nanosensor device utilizing single straight and branched, tripod-shaped ZnO nanorods. The process employs an in-situ lift-out technique performed within a focused ion beam (FIB) system. The self-assembled ZnO branched nanorods are synthesized through a cost-effective and rapid aqueous solution deposition method, followed by thermal processing. The properties of these nanorod structures have been thoroughly analyzed using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The resulting nanosensor can detect hydrogen gas concentrations of 150 ppm at room temperature and demonstrates selectivity for other gases such as oxygen and methane. Notably, the sensor operates at a low power consumption of less than 5 microwatts.
