摘要: 采用水热合成方法制备了花状In2O3纳米材料. 利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、能量色散X射线光谱(EDX)及透射电镜(TEM)对材料的结晶学特性及微结构进行了表征. 制备的In2O3材料呈现花状, 是由粒径约20 nm的椭球状小颗粒构成的分级结构材料. 将制备的In2O3与纳米CdO以摩尔比1:1 混合后, 发现制成的In2O3/CdO复合材料经热处理后呈现葡萄状多孔结构. 测试In2O3/CdO复合材料制作的气敏元件处于最佳工作温度(410 °C)时, 对0.05×10-6 (体积分数, φ)的甲醛气体表现出较高的灵敏度. 对比测试发现, In2O3/CdO 复合材料制作的气敏元件对不同浓度甲醛的灵敏度明显优于纯花状In2O3纳米材料. 同时In2O3/CdO复合材料制作的气敏元件在乙醇、甲苯、丙酮、甲醇以及氨气等干扰气体中具有对甲醛良好的选择性. 讨论了In2O3/CdO复合材料气敏元件的敏感机理.

Abstract: Indium oxide (In2O3) was synthesized using a hydrothermal process. The crystallography and microstructure of the synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The In2O3 had a flower-like hierarchical nanostructure and was composed of tiny near-spherical crystals with a diameter of approximately 20 nm. When In2O3 was mixed with CdO in a 1:1 molar ratio, it was found that the resulting In2O3/CdO composite showed an interesting grape-like porous microstructure following calcinations at elevated temperatures. A gas sensor using this In2O3/CdO composite as the sensing material showed higher sensitivity to different concentration of formaldehyde than the gas sensor based on pure flower-like In2O3 nanomaterials. The In2O3/CdO-based sensors showed a high sensitivity to a concentration of 0.05×10-6 formaldehyde at the optimized operating temperature of 410 °C and a good level of selectivity over other possible interference gases such as ethanol, toluene, acetone, methanol, and ammonia. The gas sensing mechanism of In2O3/CdO sensor has been discussed in detail.
