Abstract
This study focused on pristine Fe2O3, pristine Co3O4, and Fe2O3-Co3O4 composite using the Pechini sol-gel method for ethanol gas sensing applications. Advanced characterization techniques were used to analyze the phase, morphology, and composition of the synthesized materials. Gas sensors were then fabricated and used for ethanol gas sensing at different temperatures. The results indicated that Fe2O3-Co3O4 composite gas sensor crystallized at 600°C, had higher response compared to both pristine Fe2O3 and pristine Co3O4 gas sensors. The composite sensor manifested a high response of 26.2 to 100 ppm ethanol at 250°C, while maximum responses of pristine Co3O4 gas sensor was only 4.4 at 200°C and that of pristine Fe2O3 sensor was 11.4 at 300°C. The boosted sensing performance of the composite sensor was related to the formation of p-n heterojunctions between Co3O4 and Fe2O3 in composite sensor, the formation of dangling bonds at interfaces, and high intrinsic ethanol sensing properties of Fe2O3.
