This paper reports the synthesis of a three-dimensional (3D) flower-like NiO/Al2O3/TiO2 composite for N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) vapor detection, by calcination of the self-sacrificing NiAl-LDH/Ti3C2Tx precursor, which is fabricated via hydrothermal synthesis with monolayer Ti3C2Tx MXene as the substrate for LDH growth. Noteworthily, the interface engineering of monolayer Ti3C2Tx into the LDH precursor endows the calcined composite oxides with uniform elemental distribution while effectively suppressing nanoparticle aggregation. Further optimization of Ti3C2Tx content enables precise control over TiO2 amount, which not only modulates the morphology of the NiO/Al2O3 composite but also tailors its electronic structure. The optimized NiO/Al2O3/TiO2 composite exhibits prominent advantages, including abundant oxygen vacancies, a high specific surface area of 175 m2 g−1, and a narrowed band gap. Experimental results demonstrate that the sensitivity of NiO/Al2O3/TiO2 to 100 ppm N, N-dimethylformamide at 245 °C reaches 48.6, which is approximately 3 times as high as that of pure NiO/Al2O3. Compared with traditional preparation methods, the as-synthesized composite metal oxide exhibits superior gas-sensing performance. This study provides a new design concept for developing high-performance composite metal oxide gas-sensing materials via precursor interface engineering.
