- Abstract
- ZnO nanotetrapods have recently been exploited for the realization of
high-sensitivity gas sensors, but they are affected by the typical drawbacks of metal-oxides,
i.e., poor selectivity and a relatively high working temperature. On the other hand, it has
been also demonstrated that the combined use of nanostructured metal oxides and organic
molecules can improve the gas sensing performance sensitivity or selectivity, even at lower
temperatures. A gas sensor device, based on films of interconnected ZnO nanotetrapods
properly functionalized by titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc), has been realized in order to
combine the high surface to volume ratio and structural stability of the crystalline ZnO
nanostructures with the enhanced sensitivity of the semiconducting TiOPc molecule,
especially at low temperature. The electronic properties of the resulting nanohybrid material
are different from those of each single component. The response of the hybrid nanostructure
towards different gases has been compared with that of ZnO nanotetrapod without
functionalization in order to highlight the peculiar properties of the hybrid interaction(s). The
dynamic response in time has been studied for different gases and temperatures; in particular,
an increase in the response to NO2 has been observed, even at room temperature. The
formation of localized p-n heterojunctions and the possibility of exchanging charge carriers
at the hybrid interface is shown to be crucial for the sensing mechanism. (literal)
