Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Eco-friendly power transmission and distribution equipment play a significant role in the novel power system and “net-zero” goal. The design and application of advanced sensing and monitoring devices are desired to ensure the safe operation and maintenance of equipment. The Special Issue will provide a forum for the latest research activities in power equipment chemosensors, their networks, and applications. Both review articles and original research papers are solicited in, though not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Novel concepts of power equipment condition monitoring;
  2. Advanced materials for power equipment monitoring sensors;
  3. Self-powered sensors for power equipment;
  4. Sensor network for power equipment;
  5. Emerging applications of chemosensors in power equipment.

Recently, Heptafluoroisobutyronitrile (C4F7N) has received widespread attention in replacing one of the most greenhouse-insulating gas, SF6. However, gas leakage is incredibly harmful to the health of operational personnel and the security of industry production, and developing C4F7N detection technology is of great necessity. In this work, the adsorption properties, as well as the sensing performance of C4F7N on 3d VIII atom-decorated γ-graphyne (γ-GY), were theoretically discussed. The adsorption structures, adsorption energies, electron transfer, adsorption distance, electron distribution, and electronic properties were compared. The results show that the introduction of Fe and Co atom enhance the chemisorption of C4F7N, and the adsorption of C4F7N brings the maximum electron redistribution of Fe/γ-GY among three TM/γ-GY. Only the adsorption on Fe/γ-GY leads to the vanishing of the magnetic moment and creates a band gap. For three different modifications of γ-GY, the chemical interactions are highly related to the overlapping of transition metal 3d and N 2p orbitals in the density of states. The adsorption on Co/γ-GY causes the maximum change in work function from 5.06 eV to 5.26 eV. In addition, based on the band structure, work function, and desorption properties, the sensing properties of 3d VIII atom-decorated γ-GY were evaluated in order to promote the experimental exploration and development of high-performance C4F7N gas sensors.

With the development of two-dimensional materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MXenes and MBenes, these materials have received extensive attention from scholars in the field of gas sensing due to their unique and superior properties. Based on first-principles calculations, the adsorption energy, charge transfer, density of states and deformation charge density of CrB, an MBene successfully synthesized under laboratory conditions, were investigated for the adsorption of the decomposition components (CF4, C3F6 and COF2) of an insulating medium, C4F7N. The calculation results revealed strong chemisorption with an adsorption energy as high as −3.336 eV between CrB and COF2, as well as physical adsorption with CF4 and C3F6. However, the excessive interaction strength makes it difficult for COF2 molecules to escape from the binding of the CrB substrate, making CrB more suitable as an adsorbent to remove COF2 gas. Compared with COF2 and CF4, CrB has appropriate adsorption energy and charge transfer for C3F6 adsorption, and its theoretical recovery performance is acceptable, indicating its potential as a sensor for detecting C3F6.
