Sensing characteristics of the drop-cast thin films of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), ZnO nanowires, and P3HT:ZnO-nanowire hybrids with different compositions have been studied for various gases, namely, NO2, H2S, NH3, CH4, and CO. At room temperature, pure P3HT and ZnO-nanowire films were highly sensitive to NO2 and H2S, moderately sensitive to CO, and nearly insensitive to NH3 and CH4. P3HT:ZnO-nanowire hybrid films, with increasing ZnO-nanowire content, exhibited gradual enhancement in NO2 sensitivity, while reducing sensitivity for H2S. P3HT:ZnO-nanowire (1:1 ratio by weight) films were found to be highly selective for NO2. Plausible mechanisms explaining the enhanced NO2 selectivity by hybrid films are discussed.
