Abstract
In this work, we fabricate cesium lead bromide nanofibers (CsPbBr3 NFs) via the attachment of cesium lead bromide nanocrystals (CsPbBr3 NCs) on the surface of electrospun cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and employ them in a sensor to effectively detect gaseous nitrogen. The CsPbBr3 NFs are produced initially by producing CsPbBr3 NCs through hot injection and dispersing on hexane, followed by dipping CNFs and ultrasonicate for 1 h. Morphological characterization through visual, SEM and TEM image, and crystalline structure analysis by XRD and FT-IR analysis of CsPbBr3 NFs and NCs show similar spectra except for PL due to unavoidable damage during the ultrasonication. Gaseous nitrogen is subsequently detected using the photoluminescence (PL) property of CsPbBr3 NFs, in which the PL intensity dramatically decreases under various flow rate. Therefore, we believe that the proposed CsPbBr3 NFs show significant promise for use in detection sensors in various industrial field and decrease the potential of fatal damage to workers due to suffocation.
