Hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanowire arrays for gas sensor application

초록/요약

We report the hydrothermal synthesis of highly crystallized ZnO nanowire arrays for gas sensor applications. Seven types of samples including pure ZnO, 1 at.% Fe-doped ZnO, 3 at.% Fe-doped ZnO, 5 at.% Fe-doped ZnO, 7 at.% Fe-doped ZnO, 1 at.% Sn-doped ZnO, 3 at.% Sn-doped ZnO were prepared via hydrothermal method. The morphological and microstructural properties of the ZnO nanowire arrays were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The 5 at.% Fe-doped ZnO nanowire array sensor showed high response of 96.7 at 350℃ and short response time and recovery time as well under 100 ppm of formaldehyde (HCHO) gas. 3 at.% Fe-doped ZnO were 5.0 times sensitive to formaldehyde (HCHO) than ammonia (NH3).
