Abstract

CuO nanosheets, Cr-doped CuO nanosheets, and Cr-doped CuO nanorods were prepared by heating a slurry containing Cu-hydroxide/Cr-hydroxide. Their responses to 100 ppm NO₂, C₂H₅OH, NH₃, trimethylamine, C₃H₈, and CO were measured. For 2.2 at% Cr-doped CuO nanorods, the response (R_a/R_g, R_a: resistance in air, R_g: resistance in gas) to 100 ppm NO₂ was 134.2 at 250 °C, which was significantly higher than that of pure CuO nano-sheets (R_a/R_g = 7.5) and 0.76 at% Cr-doped CuO nanosheets (R_a/R_g = 19.9). In addition, the sensitivity for NO₂ was also markedly enhanced by Cr doping. Highly sensitive and selective detection of NO₂ in 2.2 at% Cr-doped CuO nanorods is explained in relation to Cr-doping induced changes in donor density, morphology, and catalytic effects.
