Abstract

Mesoporous composites of Fe-doped ZnO and graphene oxide (Fe-ZnO/GO) were prepared by hydrothermal method, and the heterogeneous assembly of Fe-ZnO and GO was realized and used to construct the room-temperature QCM gas sensor. The nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, BET, Raman, FTIR, and XPS, and the effects of GO content on structure and gas sensitivity were discussed. In Fe-ZnO/GO composites, Fe-ZnO was hetero-assembled with GO, while reducing GO to rGO. The maximum specific surface area of 106.54 m2/g was determined by Fe-ZnO/GO-1, with a GO content of 1wt%. The QCM gas sensor based on Fe-ZnO/GO-1 exhibited an outstanding response to ethanol at 25 °C, and the sensitivity to 10 ppm ethanol was 11 Hz, which was 3.7 times higher than that of Fe-ZnO. This study provides useful information for the construction of QCM gas sensors based on transition metal oxides and graphene composites.
