Abstract

The use of heterojunctions is a promising solution to the problem of cross‐sensitivity in gas sensors. In this work, a carbon monoxide sensor based on the CuO/TiO2 heterojunction was designed and fabricated. Due to the good adsorption properties of CuO materials to CO, and the heterojunction interface charge transfer, the CuO/TiO2 thin film sensor exhibits high sensitivity to CO at room temperature. The response is as high as 10.8–200 ppm CO, about 10 times its response to H2. Interference from H2 is greatly reduced by optimizing the structure of the CuO/TiO2 heterojunction. This reliable detection of carbon monoxide with excellent discrimination against H2 is of great significance for the development of CO gas sensors.
