Abstract
This study presents a series of high-sensitivity sensors based on BiVO4-La2O3 (Bismuth vanadate-Lanthanum oxide). nanocomposite, synthesized using a simple hydrothermal process for the detection of NO2 gas at room temperature. As-prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). BiVO4-La2O3 achieved excellent NO2 gas sensing performance, including high sensor responsivity (Rg/Ra) of 13.5 at concentrations ranging from 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm, as well as fast response (T90 = 76 s) and recovery (Tr90 = 66 s) times at 0.1 ppm. These results demonstrate the potential of BiVO₄–La₂O₃ nanocomposites for reliable ppb-level NO₂ detection at room temperature.
