The XRD results showed that the crystal structure of as-obtained sample can be indexed to hexagonal wurtzite ZnO.TEM results revealed that the ZnO sample took on tetrapod-like whisker shape.The gas sensors were prepared with the traditional sintering process and their gas sensitivities were detected.The test results of gas sensitivity showed that the sensors based on ZnO tetrapod-like whiskers are very sensitive to dilute ethanol vapor and H_2S.The relatively high sensitivity and selectivity of these sensors made from ZnO tetrapod-like whiskers demonstrated the potential for developing a new class of selective ethanol sensors.展开更多

Gas sensing properties were tested by mixing gas in air in static state.At 268.5℃,the nanocrystal showed high sensitivity to LPG but lower sensitivity to H_2 and CO.In order to enhance the sensitivities to H_2 and CO,0.5 mass % Au and Pd were doped by an impregnation process.The sensitivities to H_2 and CO were increased under different working temperature.Au-doped In_2O_3 was superior to Pd-doped In_2O_3 whatever to H_2 or CO;the sensitivity was increased with the increase of working temperature;gas sensing properties to H_2 overmatched to CO.展开更多
