Abstract
In2O3 as a promising sensing material has attracted much attention in the field of gas sensitive research. Chemoresistive gas sensors based on In2O3 sensing materials have always suffered from poor humidity resistance and low sensitivity. In this work, RuO2 was used to surface functionalize metal organic framework derived In2O3 hollow nanotubes via simple hydrothermal method. Gas sensing test results show that RuO2 surface modification largely improves the gas sensing properties of pristine In2O3. Especially, 1.5 wt% RuO2-In2O3 exhibits the highest response value (Ra/Rg = 338) to 100 ppm TMA at 200 ℃, which is 33 times higher than the pristine In2O3 (Ra/Rg = 10.3). The sensor also has a fast response time of only 3 s and a low detection limit (50 ppb, 1.3). In addition, the sensor also demonstrated good selectivity, repeatability and cross-sensitivity characteristics. The enhanced sensing mechanism is mainly attributed to the chemical and electrical sensitization of RuO2 as well as the unique hollow nanotube structures of the sensing material. This work provides a promising direction for the development of highly sensitive and highly humidity resistance trimethylamine (TMA) sensors.
