In-doped ZnO/NiO nanosheet as highly selective triethylamine sensor
Source abstract
Abstract
Triethylamine belongs to fatty amine of organic amines, which is a volatile organic compounds gas widely used but harmful to human body. Preparing a highly selective sensor for the detection of triethylamine is very important. In this paper, ZnO/NiO nanosheets doped with different contents of indium were obtained for the first time by solvothermal is combined with heat treatment method and fabricated into sensors. The gas-sensitive properties of the nanosheets were investigated. We found that the composite has excellent sensing performance for triethylamine. when the molar content of indium is 2%. At relatively low temperatures, the sensor has high response, excellent selectivity, stable performance. The selectivity for triethylamine was as high as 52.11% when the selectivity for other gases was less than 15%. The sensor can be used as a practical TEA detector in production and life.Graphical abstract
