Abstract

Development of high performances gas sensors to monitor and detect the volatile organic compound triethylamine is of paramount importance for health and environmental protection. The Co3O4-ZnO nanoparticles composite was successfully synthesized by the one-step hydrothermal route and annealing process in this work. The gas sensitivity test results show that the composite exhibits excellent triethylamine-sensing performance at a cobalt content of 1 at%, indicating potential application for triethylamine detection. The sensor based on the Co3O4-ZnO composite had higher sensitivity to triethylamine, better selectivity, and faster response recovery rate compared with pure ZnO sensor. Combined with the structural characteristics of the characterized Co3O4-ZnO nanocomposite, the optimized triethylamine sensing performances can be ascribed to the p-n heterojunction effect between Co3O4 and ZnO, as well as the catalytic and high oxygen adsorption properties of Co3O4.
