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

X-my diffraction （XRD） demonstrates that the as-obtained sample can be indexed to high crystaUinity with wurtzite structure. The structural features associated with different growth stages were monitored using scanning elec- tron microscope （SEM）, which described the direct observation nucleation and growth process. Meanwhile, room temperature photoluminescence （PL） spectrum showed a UV emission at -388 nm and a broad green emission at -505 nm. The ZnO nanowires with the self-catalyzed growth mechanism were discussed in detail.展开更多
