Light irradiation enhanced ZnO/ZnFe2O4 sensors for triethylamine gas detections have been reported in this paper. ZnO/ZnFe2O4 composites with a hexagonal nanostructure were synthesized by calcination of Zn, Fe layered double hydroxides (Zn2Fe-LDH) at certain temperatures. Focusing on the general problem that the metal oxide gas sensors for triethylamine detection often have high working temperatures around 200 degrees C, the assistance approach of light irradiation has been conducted in our work. Under the light irradiation, the gas sensing measurement indicates that the sample calcined at 600 degrees C shows considerable response to triethylamine at the working temperature of 80 degrees C. For comparison, the introduction of light irradiation has lowered the working temperature markedly, which might have potential to monitor TEA in industrial production in the future.
