The ordered porous structural metal oxide semiconductors with well-defined meso- or macro-pores chemically synthesized via soft-templating method and nanocasting strategy have high porosity, highly interconnected pore channels and high surface area with enormous active sites for interacting with gaseous molecules. These features enable them good performance in gas sensing, including high sensitivity, fast response and recovery, good selectivity. This review gives a comprehensive summary about the porous metal oxides with focus on the synthesis methods, structure related properties, as well as the modification strategies for gas sensing improved performances.展开更多

In this paper, we first present an ordered mesoporous NiFe204 for highly sensitive and selective detection against low-ppb toluene. A series of mesoporous NiFe204 materials were synthesized by templating from mesoporous silica KIT-6 and its framework thickness was reduced from 8.5 to 5 nm by varying the pore size of KIT-6 from 9.4 to 5.6 nm, accompanied with the increase of the specific surface area from 134 to 216 m^2 g^-1. The ordered mesoporous NiFe2O4 with both ultrathin framework of 5 nm and large specific surface area of up to 216 m^2 g^-1 exhibits a highest response （Rgas/Ralr-1 = 77.3） toward 1,000 ppb toluene at 230℃ and is nearly 7.3 and 76.7 times higher than those for the NiFe204 replica with thick framework and its bulk counter- part respectively, which also possesses a quite low limit of detection （〈2 ppb）, and good selectivity.展开更多
