Research Records and Achievements

Michele Penza’s research records and achievements include, but not limited: a) piezolectric materials for Surface and Bulk Acoustic Devices; b) nanostructured metal oxides for chemical sensing; c) Carbon nanomaterials for chemical sensing; d) gas sensors, transducers and devices; e) portable sensor-systems and sensor-network for air pollution monitoring; f) Critical Raw Materials and related technologies.

Piezoelectric materials for Surface and Bulk Acoustic Devices

Michele Penza has pioneered piezoelectric materials processing based on PVD methods of sputtering and evaporation such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium nitride (AlN) thin-films for miniaturized acoustic devices. In particular, ZnO piezolelectric films

[20] and AlN piezoelectric films[21] onto silicon substrates for SAW gas sensing. This advanced research on ZnO piezoelectric films started on 1991 in collaboration with Physics Department at University of Bari, and Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics at Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow; while the research on AlN piezoelectric films started on 1993 in collaboration with Acoustic Institute “O.M. Corbino” at CNR - National Research Council in Rome.

Furthermore, the research advances include the development of i) Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices at frequency ranging 50 - 500 MHz, engineered by interdigitated metal electrodes onto piezoelectric substrates such as lithium niobate (LiNbO3), quartz (SiO2), bismuth silicon oxide (Bi12SiO20) and bismuth germanium oxide (Bi12GeO20)[22][23]; ii) Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (TFBAR) at high frequency in the GHz range, implemented by piezoelectric (ZnO, AlN) films onto silicon dioxide substrate[24]; and finally iii) Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) devices operating at frequency ranging 10-20 MHz, fabricated onto piezoelectric quartz substrate[25].

Nanostructured metal oxides for chemical sensing

Michele Penza has explored metal oxides as nanostructured thin films prepared by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) methods of sputtering and evaporation for gas sensing devices at high sensitivity, selectivity and stability.

Mainly, sputtered tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films[26][27], surface-functionalised by noble metals (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag) and other catalysts, for enhanced gas sensitivity and selectivity towards specific target gases (CO, NO2/NO/NOx, CH4, NH3) to be detected. Particularly, the mentioned first and second paper received 270+ and 400+ citations in Google Scholar up-to-date, respectively. This was a cited top-score of the author for both papers published in peer-reviewed journal Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical at high IF such as 9.2 (2022).

Zin oxide (ZnO) thin films have been also studied to realize stable electrodes for electrical devices[28], and tin dioxide (SnO2) thin films have been prepared by laser deposition and characterised for gas sensing applications[29] as well.

Carbon nanomaterials for chemical sensing

Michele Penza has pioneered carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for gas sensing applications[30]. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been prepared by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) methods and Plasma Enhanced CVD (PECVD) techniques onto dielectric substrates (e.g., alumina, silicon dioxide, glass, quartz), equipped by growth-catalysts (Fe or Co) and metal electrodes (Cr/Au), for configured chemi-resistors useful to detect some targeted gases at very low range of sub-ppm level[31][32][33]M. Penza, G. Cassano, R. Rossi, A. Rizzo, M. A. Signore, M. Alvisi, N. Lisi, E. Serra, R. Giorgi (2007). Effect of growth-catalysts on gas sensitivity in carbon nanotube films-based chemiresistive sensors - Applied Physics Letters. 90(10) (2007) 103101.</ref>.

The SWCNTs and MWCNTs networked layers have been surface-functionalised by noble metals (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag) for enhanced gas sensitivity towards specific gases (NO2, CO, VOCs, etc.) working at a low operating temperature (<200°C) and a low power consumption (<500mW)[34][35].

Gas sensors, transducers and devices

Michele Penza is also known for his milestone contributions in the design, fabrication, engineering, functional characterization, testing and measurement of gas sensors, configured transducers (chemi-resistors, SAW, QCM, TFBAR, optical fibers) and devices (sensors, dual systems)[36][37][38][39].

Chemiresistors based on CNTs have been studied and developed for gas sensing[40]. QCM sensors based on functional layers have been developed to detect VOCs at room temperature[41]. SAW devices based on CNT-composites have been designed and implemented to detect toxic gases (NOx, NH3, etc.) and VOCs (alcohols, ketones, esters, etc.) at room temperature[42]. Also, optical fiber sensors have been characterized for chemical sensing at room temperature[43]. Finally, hybrid devices based on mixed transducers have been explored for gas sensing[44].

Portable sensor systems and sensor network for air pollution monitoring

Michele Penza investigated the application of low-cost gas sensors for air quality monitoring in real world by long-term experimental campaigns in urban hot-spots[45].

Joint-exercise EuNetAir was designed and realized in the Aveiro city (Portugal) including 15+ teams from 12 COST Countries by an experimental campaign based on commercial gas sensor-systems (200+ gas sensors involved), previously calibrated in lab, and installed side-by-side in an Air Quality Mobile Laboratory equipped by reference analyzers[46][47].

Michele Penza collaborated as expert with US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in a workshop on deliberating performance targets related to potential paths for emerging PM2.5 and O3 air sensors[48]; and he was invited also by World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in an international team devoted to define a Report on low-cost sensors for atmospheric composition monitoring[49][50].

Michele Penza chaired the COST Action TD 1105 EuNetAir (2012-16) - New Sensing Technologies for Air Pollution Control and Environmental Sustainability - to establish an international network devoted to create a critical mass of expertise from academia, research, industry and agency for innovative technologies, methods, standards and protocols for clean air in Europe[51][52].

Critical Raw Materials and related technologies

Michele Penza has promoted the EIT RawMaterials Hub - Regional Center Southern Italy[53], hosted by ENEA at Brindisi Research Center in Italy.

The mission is to mobilize industrial and academic stakeholders within the Knowledge Triangle to support the local ecosystem in order to enhance the innovative potential of the Mediterranean region in collaboration with existing Regional Hubs, in line with European strategies on Critical Raw Materials. The main focus of the EIT RawMaterials Hub Regional Center Southern Italy is devoted to: Recycling and Reuse; Substitution; Exploration Technologies; Processing & Characterization; Functional Materials for Manufacturing; Advanced Materials for Transportation; Circular Economy.

The local innovation ecosystem was boosted in the period 2019-2022 by networking, dissemination, outreach and business support by management of 1 Roadshow (2 stops in different cities); 3 International Workshops devoted to CRM Innovation Frontiers; 5 Short Courses on critical raw materials, WEEE, circular economy, exploration technologies and advanced materials; 2 Training Schools on circular economy and critical raw materials; 2 InfoDay & Matchmaking on dissemination of main topics of RCSI; 8 Bilateral Meetings Industry-Research on joint-collaboration for research and innovation funding; and finally the participation of a RCSI speaker invited to at least 10 External Meetings.

Some significant figures of merit as key performance indicators: i) a Stakeholder Committee established with 80+ engaged persons from academia, industry, startups, spinoffs; ii) 15 Startups and 10+ SMEs trained/educated on themes of CRMs and related technologies; iii) 3 Awards granted as cash-prize to innovative local startups operating in the field of critical raw materials and related technologies to support entrepreneurial business. Various funding proposals and several active projects. Finally, 3000+ persons reached by different online and in-person events in the period 2019-2022.
