A gas sensor comprises a basic part and a sensing layer deposited on the basic part. The basic part includes a circuit board and at least one surface acoustic wave element disposed on the circuit board. The sensing layer is a nanocomposite film of reduced graphene oxide/tungsten oxide/polypyrrole deposited on the surface acoustic wave element. The sensing layer combines reduced graphene oxide, metal oxide, and conductive polymer, so that the sensing layer is able to perform sensing at room temperature, and can be more sensitive. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a gas sensor, and a gas sensing system including the gas sensor.

Gas sensor and manufacturing method thereof, and gas sensing system

A dye-sensitized solar cell includes a negative electrode, a positive electrode, a photoelectrode mounted between the negative electrode and the positive electrode, and an electrolyte located between the photoelectrode and the positive electrode. The photoelectrode is adapted to absorb a dye. The photoelectrode includes a dense layer, a scattering layer and a carrier transport layer. The dense layer, the scattering layer and the carrier transport layer are stacked one upon another. The dense layer is formed by titanium dioxide nanoparticles having a diameter of 15-20 nm. The scattering layer is formed by titanium dioxide nanospheres having a diameter of 200-500 nm. The carrier transport layer is formed by titanium dioxide nanotubes having a length of 300-800 nm. Furthermore, a photoelectrode for the dye-sensitized solar cell, as well as a method for producing the photoelectrode, are also disclosed.
