Abstract
We present a high surface area sensor comprising NiO nanoparticles (NPs) incorporated within porous TiO2 nanofibers (NFs), showing a remarkable response to acetone. Initially, we synthesized Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) NFs containing titanium (Ti) and nickel (Ni) salts using a simple electrospinning method. Subsequent calcination of the PVP NFs led to the formation of NiO NPs embedded within the porous TiO2 NFs. The resulting heterostructure material exhibited a significant response to acetone detection, with a ratio of electrical resistance in air (Ra) to that in the presence of gas (Rg) reaching 83 at its optimal operating temperature of 300 °C. Furthermore, it demonstrated stable performance under high relative humidity conditions.
