In this study, a high-temperature resistant ethanol sensor based on rationally designed heterojunctions is constructed, exhibiting significantly improved performance in sensing ethanol at 465 degrees C. The sensor demonstrates high response, fast detection, and excellent selectivity, suggesting promising applications for stable sensors operating under harsh working conditions.
Metal-oxide (MO) semiconductors are important materials for developing sensors to detect toxic gases and chemicals. However, achieving robust thermal and chemical stability under harsh working conditions, such as high temperatures, remains a significant challenge. Here, we present the construction of a high-temperature resistant ethanol sensor based on rationally designed heterojunctions formed by ZnO nanoparticles and beta-SiC single-crystalline nanowires (ZnO-NPs/beta-SiC-NWs). The formation of ZnO-NPs/beta-SiC-NWs heterojunctions is achieved through a simple hydrothermal process, allowing the anchoring of ZnO NPs on the surface of SiC NWs. As a result, the assembled sensor demonstrates significantly improved performance in sensing ethanol at 465 degrees C. It exhibits a high response (S = 25.4 at 100 ppm), compared to pure ZnO NPs (10.4) and beta-SiC NWs (1.2), along with fast detection (response/recovery time = 19/49 s), excellent selectivity, and a detection limit down to ppb levels. The archived response value surpasses the previously reported MO-based analogues at the similar tem-peratures and suggests promising applications for stable sensors operating under harsh working conditions.
