Abstract
In this work, coral-like Co-doped ZnO nanostructures were obtained using simple precipitation and hydrothermal methods. Co-doping reduced the composite particle size to 20 nm, and the controlled growth direction formed a larger adsorption area. The gas sensor results suggest that the maximum response to triethylamine at 200 °C was achieved at 5 mol% doping content. The sensor also performed well for the 30-day stability test, displaying excellent selectivity and repeatability. Besides, 5CZO showed a response-recovery time of 52/70 s and a good response to different gas concentrations. The doping mechanism for the improved gas sensing performance with triethylamine was thoroughly investigated.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
