Deposition of In2O3 nanofibers on polyimide substrates to construct high-performance and flexible trimethylamine sensor

Flexible trimethylamine sensor has been realized based on In2 O3 nanofibers via electrospinning and a deposition technique.The web-like In2O3 nanofibers with high length-to-diameter ratios are benefit for gas adsorption and desorption.High trimethylamine sensing properties are observed.The sensors can detect trimethylamine gas down to 1 ppm at 80℃with the response up to 3.8.Additionally,rapid response(6 s)and recovery(10 s)behavior can also be obtained.Good reliability and flexibility are observed in 100 bending/extending cycles.Our results open a new route to construct flexible gas sensors in practice.
