摘要

A facile hydrothermal route was employed to synthesize porous thin sheet-based α-Fe2O3-doped In2O 3 structures including nanosheets and microflowers without any surfactant and template. The morphologies of the porous thin sheet-based α-Fe2O3-doped In2O3 structures consisted of many porous thin sheets with lengths of 80-100 nm and widths of 5-10 nm, while the pores in the sheets were 2-10 nm, and the amount of α-Fe2O3-doping significantly affected the overall morphology. The characterization of the porous thin sheet-based α-Fe 2O3-doped In2O3 structures was obtained using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms at 77 K. The results showed that the porous thin sheet-based α-Fe2O 3-doped In2O3 structures (S4) adsorbed the largest amount of N2 and had the biggest surface area, which contributed to the improvement of the gas sensing characteristics. Furthermore, the gas sensing characteristics of the obtained products were studied. The results demonstrated that the sensors based on α-Fe2O 3-doped In2O3 structures exhibited a much higher response to Cl2 than those without α-Fe 2O3 (S1), and the In/Fe = 9:1 (molar ratio) showed the highest response. The sensor based on porous thin sheet-based α-Fe 2O3-doped In2O3 structures (S4) exhibited a high response, up to 48.2 ± 4.8 to 5 ppm Cl2, quick response-recovery behavior and excellent stability, which implies good potential for practical applications. Finally, the gas sensing mechanism was also studied.
