Abstract
Hollow porous pure and La2O3 doped Zn2SnO4 fibers were synthesized via single capillary electrospinning technology and used for obtaining of gas sensors. The as-prepared samples were characterized by microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis absorption spectra. The newly obtained gas sensors were investigated for acetone detection. Compared with pure Zn2SnO4 hollow fibers, the La2O3 doped Zn2SnO4 hollow fibers not only exhibited perfect sensing performance toward acetone with excellent selectivity, high response and fast response/recovery capability (7 s for adsorption and 9 s for desorption), but also the operating temperature was reduced from 240 °C to 200 °C. These results demonstrated that the special hollow porous La doped Zn2SnO4 fibers structures were used as the sensing material for fabricating high performance acetone sensors. The acetone sensing mechanism of La2O3 doped Zn2SnO4 hollow fibers was discussed too.
