CuO-doped ZnO heterojunction nanofibers were successfully prepared using sol-gel and electrospinning methods. The sensing response of H2S was significantly enhanced when the mole ratio of CuO to ZnO was 0.15:1, reaching a best gas response of 83.98% at 1 ppm H2S.
In this study, a sol-gel method and an electrospinning method were used to prepare CuO-doped ZnO heterojunction nanofibers. The CuO-doped ZnO nanofibers were grown on interdigitated gold electrode substrates and then used in gas sensors. We found that when the mole ratio of CuO to ZnO was 0.15: 1, the sensing response of H2S was greatly enhanced and was 25% higher than that obtained using pure ZnO nanofibers. The best H2S gas response was 83.98% at 1 ppm H2S at 200 degrees C, with good recovery and reproducibility. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
