Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as serious outdoor and indoor air pollutants have attracted great attention. Many detection technologies of VOCs have been investigated. However, it is challenging to develop an efficient and portable wireless sensor for monitoring VOCs. Here, we proposed a new strategy to obtain a high-performance VOC sensor based on two-dimensional Co3O4 nanosheets (NSs) with numerous oxygen vacancy defects. The Co3O4 NS-30 W sensor detected 200 ppm ethanol and exhibited a high response value (10.70) and fast response and recovery behavior (20 s and 17 s, respectively). The effect of oxygen vacancy defects on the sensitive properties was studied by theoretical calculations on the (110) plane of Co3O4. Furthermore, a unique VOC wireless sensor was fabricated in order to enable wireless early warning from multiple terminals and monitoring of alcohol in exhaled gas. The VOC sensor exhibited a promising potential for precisely monitoring the alcohol consumption of drivers.
