Abstract

CuO leaf-like with thickness of 20 nm, and ZnO plates with thickness of 40 nm have been successfully prepared through a wet chemical method. The two materials were mixed with different weight ratios (CuO/ZnO) to produce nanocomposite materials. Ethanol vapor sensing properties of films derived from obtained materials on SiO2/Si substrates attached with Pt interdigitated electrodes were investigated at operating temperatures in the range of 250 C – 400 C and ethanol vapor concentration in the range of 125 - 1500 ppm. The results showed that the composite of 30 wt% CuO/70 wt% ZnO exhibited the highest response to ethanol vapor at an optimum temperature of 375 oC.
