Abstract

In order to improve the gas-sensing performance of ZnO, a novel peony shaped ZnO stacked with nanosheets were prepared using hydrothermal method, and the obtained ZnO was characterized and tested for gas sensitivity. The results showed that the particle distribution of the peony shaped ZnO was uniform, with a particle size of about 0.8μm. The gas-sensing response test results show that the peony shaped ZnO has excellent selectivity to ethanol gas. When the concentration of ethanol gas is 100ppm, the gas-sensing response of the peony shaped ZnO to ethanol gas reaches 17.4, and the response time and recovery time are 8 seconds and 12 seconds, respectively. Even at an ethanol gas concentration of 2ppm, the gas-sensing response of the peony shaped ZnO to ethanol gas can reach 2.1. Compared to existing literature reports, the peony shaped ZnO prepared in this paper has better gas-sensing performance. This study will provide data support and theoretical reference for the development of high-performance gas sensors.
