摘要：Pure In2O3 and Cd-loaded In2O3 hollow and porous nanofibers with different Cd/In molar ratios (1/20, 1/10, 1/1) were synthesized by electrospinning method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the nanofibers. The porous nanofibers were composed of small grains. The average grain sizes and the diameters of Cd-loaded In2O3 nanofibers increased with the increasing of Cd/In molar ratios. The formaldehyde sensing properties of the sensors based on pure In2O3 and Cd-loaded In2O3 nanofibers were investigated in formaldehyde concentration range of 0.5 similar to 100 ppm. Moreover, the selectivity of those sensors was studied by testing responses to methanol, toluene, ethanol, acetone, and ammonia. The result showed that Cd-loaded In2O3 nanofibers with Cd/In molar ratio of 1/10 possessed the highest response value and good selectivity at operating temperature 280 degrees C. In addition, the formaldehyde sensing mechanism of the sensors based on Cd-loaded nanofibers was briefly analyzed.
