Abstract

Implementing sensitive and fast formaldehyde (HCHO) sensing at room temperature is still in extreme demand for practical indoor air quality monitoring. Herein, we synthesized P25/ZnO sensing materials for detecting low-concentration HCHO at room temperature. The sensing mechanism based on the P25/ZnO heterojunction was analyzed by the surface photovoltage (SPV), transient photovoltage (TPV), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results. Based on the P25/ZnO heterojunction, the obtained 1% P25/ZnO has the highest response among the synthesized sensing materials. The response of 1% P25/ZnO sensor materials to 0.9ppm and 19.1ppm HCHO reaches 44.85% and 255.42%, respectively, which is 21 and 20 times that of ZnO sensor materials (0.9ppm ~ 2.16%, 19.1ppm ~ 12.64%). Furthermore, the detection limit can be as low as 82 ppb under 360 nm light at room temperature. The selectivity, long-term stability, and repeatability of the obtained sensors at room temperature were also revealed.

基于 P25/ZnO 微球的紫外线激活型高性能甲醛气体传感器

在室温下实现灵敏、快速的甲醛（HCHO）传感仍是实用室内空气质量监测的迫切需求。在此，我们合成了用于在室温下检测低浓度 HCHO 的 P25/ZnO 传感材料。通过表面光电压（SPV）、瞬态光电压（TPV）和 X 射线光电子能谱（XPS）结果分析了基于 P25/ZnO 异质结的传感机制。从 P25/ZnO 异质结来看，在合成的传感材料中，1% P25/ZnO 的响应最高。1% P25/ZnO 传感器材料对 0.9ppm 和 19.1ppm HCHO 的响应分别达到 44.85% 和 255.42%，是 ZnO 传感器材料（0.9ppm ~ 2.16%，19.1ppm ~ 12.64%）的 21 倍和 20 倍。此外，在室温下 360 纳米光照条件下，检测限可低至 82 ppb。此外，还揭示了所获传感器在室温下的选择性、长期稳定性和重复性。
