Fund Project: the Project of Science and Technology Plan of Jilin Province,China(No. 20200201267JC)Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(Nos. 12073009, 61874048, 61974055, U21B2061)

NiO/Zn₂SnO₄ hierarchical nanoflowers were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method combined with subsequent solution impregnation process. Gas sensor with a side-heated gas sensor structure was fabricated by utilizing the obtained NiO/Zn₂SnO₄ as sensing material. Several characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were employed to investigate the composition, morphology and microstructure of the samples. The results showed that the Zn₂SnO₄ synthesized via hydrothermal method took on a hierarchical nanoflower structure composed of nano-lamellae, and NiO was successfully decorated on the surface of the Zn₂SnO₄ nanoflowers as nanoparticles through solution impregnation. The gas sensing performances of pure Zn₂SnO₄ and NiO/Zn₂SnO₄ composites were investigated and the testing results revealed that the NiO/Zn₂SnO₄ composites exhibited excellent sensing performances to ethanol. The response presented a linear relationship with ethanol concentration in the range of 1-100 μL/L(R²=0.9990), the response to 100 μL/L ethanol reached 46.5 at 230℃, and the response and recovery time was 3 s and 16 s, respectively. Moreover, the NiO/Zn₂SnO₄-based sensor possessed great selectivity and stability. Compared with pure Zn₂SnO₄ nanoflowers, the sensing properties of NiO/Zn₂SnO₄ composites were improved dramatically, and the enhancement may ascribe to the p-n type heterojunctions formed between NiO and Zn₂SnO₄ as well as the catalysis synergetic effect of NiO. The research on the NiO/Zn₂SnO₄-based sensor provided a reference for highly sensitive detection of ethanol.
