Abstract
Co3O4/TiO2 composites with p-n heterojunction have been successfully prepared by pyrolyzing sacrificial template of Ti ion loaded Co-based Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67). The structure and morphology of composite have been characterized by means of the analysis of XRD, FESEM, HRTEM and XPS spectra. The composite with a Co/Ti molar ratio of 4:1 exhibits the maximum sensing response of 6.17-50Â ppm xylene, which is 5 times higher than pristine Co3O4. Moreover, Co3O4/TiO2 composite also shows good selectivity, long-term stability and rapid response and recovery. Such excellent sensing performances are attributed to material porous structure, high specific surface and the formation of abundant p-n heterojunction that permits the gas adsorption, diffusion and surface reaction and then improve the gas sensing performance. This work develops a promising synthesized approach of metal oxide composites for broader MOFs application in gas sensor field.
