摘要
The heterogeneous nanocomposites of CuO doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using sol gel method by varying the concentration of CuO as 0.1, 0.5 and 1 mol% for the sensing of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide. The substitutional doping of CuO in TiO2 matrix was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction. Average crystallite size of the doped nanocomposites was found to reduce with increase in concentration of CuO. The 0.1 mol% CuO doped TiO2 nanocomposites showed highest sensitivity to ammonia (97%) with response time of 2 s, while 1 mol% was selective to H2S gas (77%) with response time of 45 s for 50 ppm of each gas at room temperature.
