摘要
The sensitivity of ethanol sensor is of paramount importance in a variety of areas,including chemical production with ethanol,alcohol testing for driving safety,etc.Herein,α-Fe_(2)O_(3) nano-cylinders with atomic carbon layers are synthesized,for the first time,through in-situ catalytic chemical vapor deposition combined with hydrothermal techniques for the detection of ethanol.The reported α-Fe_(2)O_(3)@C nano-cylinders with double surficial strain effects deliver an ethanol detection sensitivity of 8 times as compared with α-Fe_(2)O_(3) nano-cylinders,10 times higher as compared with its detection sensitivity to ammonia,para-xylene,methanol and benzene.The sensor also exhibits over-14-day operation stability and the minimum detection limit of 10 ppm.To our best knowledge,the performances surpass those of previously reported α-Fe_(2)O_(3).Such attractive performances are attributed to the enhanced charge transfer in α-Fe_(2)O_(3) owing to the double surficial strain effects of α-Fe_(2)O_(3)@C nano-cylinders and the efficient adsorption of ethanol with atomic carbon layers.
