Metal-semiconductor junctions and interfaces have been studied for many years due to their importance in applications such as semiconductor electronics and solar cells. However, semiconductor-metal networks are less studied because there is a lack of effective methods to fabricate such structures. Here, we report a novel Au–ZnO-based metal-semiconductor (M-S)n network in which ZnO nanowires were grown horizontally on gold particles and extended to reach the neighboring particles, forming an (M-S)n network. The (M-S)n network was further used as a gas sensor for sensing ethanol and acetone gases. The results show that the (M-S)n network is sensitive to ethanol (28.1 ppm) and acetone (22.3 ppm) gases and has the capacity to recognize the two gases based on differences in the saturation time. This study provides a method for producing a new type of metal-semiconductor network structure and demonstrates its application in gas sensing.

In this paper, star-fruit-shaped CuO microstructures were hydrothermally synthesized and subsequently characterized through different techniques to understand morphological, compositional, structural, crystal, optical and vibrational properties. The formation of star-fruit-shaped structures along with some polygonal and spherical nanostructures was confirmed by FESEM analysis. XRD data and Raman spectrum confirmed the monoclinic tenorite crystalline phase of the CuO with crystal size 17.61 nm. Star-fruit-shaped CuO microstructures were examined for ethanol gas sensing behavior at various operating temperatures and concentrations. The gas response of 135% was observed at the optimal temperature of 225 °C. Due to excellent selectivity, stability and re-usability, the as-fabricated sensor based on star-fruit-shaped CuO micro-structures may be explored for future toxic gas sensor applications.

Abstract ZnO quantum dots sensitized SnO2 porous nanowires were fabricated and designed for UV excitation gas sensor. The ZnO/SnO2 composite (SZQ1%) with the molar proportion of 1:100 exhibits excellent sensing properties to NO2 gas under UV irradiation at 40oC. The humidity stability of SZQ1% was also measured and discussed by DC reversed circuit and complex impedance curves. The gas sensing mechanism is well discussed and illustrated to the ZnO quantum dots sensitized and the increased photo-generated carriers under UV irradiation.

Nanostructured ZnO films were fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with different Sn source concentrations for ethanol sensing application. It was found that the morphology of the ZnO films were obviously affected by Sn concentration, while no any Sn signals were detected in the films. The response of the nanostructured ZnO films increases with the increase of ethanol concentrations, and the S2 sample displays the highest sensitivity. Thephotoluminescence spectra show that more oxygen vacancies exist in the S2 sample than the other samples, which reveals that oxygen vacancies may play a great role to improve the gas sensing properties of the ZnO films.A possible sensing mechanism was proposed to explain these phenomena.This work provides a very simple and efficient method to prepare ZnO gas sensor, its high response and short recovery time are also a merit for the ZnO films used in gas sensor applications.
