· In the presence of a background of significant O 2 content such as methane sensing in air, the mechanism is typically explained through interactions between methane and oxygen molecules chemisorbed on the surface of a semiconductor sensing material. In the case of n-type semiconducting metal oxides, adsorbed oxygen species will capture electrons from the surface of the sensing layer, …

For two of the world's largest natural gas fields, Galkynysh and Dauletabad in Turkmenistan, we find collective methane emissions of ± Mt yr −1, which corresponds to a leakage rate of ± %, suggesting that the Turkmen energy industry is not employing methane emission avoidance strategies and technologies as successfully as those currently widely used in the United States. The leakage …
· Dear Colleagues, Carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) are the two most important greenhouse gases that have led to a significant fraction of the increase in earth’s surface temperature in the past 100 average concentrations of CO 2 and CH 4 have increased from 296 ppm (parts per million) and 900 ppb (parts per billion) in 1900 to about 405 ppm and 1850 ppb in 2017, respectively.

· Anti-resonant hollow-core silica fiber is used to demonstrate near- and mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy of methane. Molecular transitions near 6057 cm-1 (~1651 nm) and at cm-1 (~3270 nm) are targeted. Distributed feedback laser diode and interband cascade lasers are used as tunable laser sources. Detection of methane in ambient air is demonstrated using this mid-infrared …
Methane is a gas produced by a group of colonic anaerobes. All methane produced by human beings is a metabolic product of intestinal bacteria, and about 50% of it is excreted. Methane is also found below ground and under the sea floor. It is emitted during production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil, as well as from lifestock. Methane makes up roughly 10% of Greenhouse Gas ...
Methane sensing using SWCNTs is still at an early stage, however, owing to the difficulty of obtaining a selective response to the nonpolar and inert CH 4 molecule via traditional selector – analyte interaction strategies such as adsorption (22, 23), swelling (24, 25), receptor/guest interactions (26–28), or chemical reaction (29). For example, Star et al. constructed gas sensor arrays ...
