RuO2 modified ZnO nanosheets were also prepared by a calcination route. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy, and its specific BET surface area was calculated by nitrogen adsorption method. The sensitivity, response and recovery speed were examined. The results show that RuO2 modified petal-like ZnO based sensor exhibits a high sensitivity, a low detection limit, fast response and recovery properties to ethanol and acetone. The sensitivities of the RuO2 modified petal-like ZnO based sensor to 100×10^-6 ethanol and acetone at 360 °C are 33 and 67, respectively. The response and recovery times of the sensor are 4 s and 9 s to 10×10^-6 ethanol, and are 3 s and 10 s to 10×10^-6 acetone, respectively.展开更多

The results showed that the Ce-doped ZnO microspheres were composed of numerous nanorods with a diameter of 70 nm and a wurtzite structure. Ce-doping could cause a morphological transition from loose nanorods assembly to a tightly assembly in the microspheres. Compared with pure ZnO, the photoluminescence of the Ce-doped microspheres showed red-shifted UV emission and an enhanced blue emission. Particularly, the Ce-doped ZnO sensors exhibited much higher sensitivity and selectivity to ethanol than that of pure ZnO sensor at 320 °C. The ZnO microspheres doped with 6% Ce (mole fraction) exhibited the highest sensitivity (about 30) with rapid response (2 s) and recovery time (16 s) to 50×10?6 ethanol gas.展开更多
