摘要
ZnO hollow spheres with high crystallinity were prepared successfully via a simple template process using ZnCl2, carbamide and polystyrene spheres (PSS) as raw materials. The structural and morphological characterizations of the samples were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Indirect-heating sensor using ZnO hollow spheres as sensing materials was fabricated on an alumina tube with Au electrodes and Pt wires. The gas sensing properties of the as-synthesized ZnO hollow spheres for n-butanol were investigated. . It is shown that the sensor exhibited good sensing performances, characterized by high response, response, very short response time, and stability to n-butanol gas at operating temperature of 385 degrees C. These results indicate that the ZnO hollow spheres are highly promising candidates for practical detectors for for n-butanol. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
