Abstract

Hierarchical ZnO replica using down as template fabricated by a combination of low-temperature plasma treatment and sonochemical method was used in gas sensor for the detection of ethanol and formaldehyde. The morphologies and crystal structures of the hierarchical ZnO replica were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Results showed that the hierarchical ZnO replica retained the initial down morphology and consisted of hexagonal wurtzite structure ZnO nanocrystals. The results of resistance–temperature characteristics and responses to ethanol and formaldehyde indicated that the hierarchical ZnO film had low activation energy (0.1118 eV) and a low optimum operating temperature and that the response time was longer than recovery time. These behaviors were well explained in relation to three-dimensional network structures and the high specific surface area of the hierarchical ZnO replica.
