| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nanorod array gas sensors are attracting much scientific and engineering interest because of their excellent sensing performance arising from their unique nanostructures. In this work, large-scale random 3D networks of ultra-fine single-crystal α-MoO3 nanorod arrays are applied as gas sensors. The arrays are spontaneously grown by a simple single-step solution route. A prompt response and obvious discrimination of ethanol, methanol, isopropanol and acetone vapors at 573 K are investigated via the modulation of the resistance of the gas sensors. The sensitivity, response time and recovery time of the sensors strongly depend on the specific morphologies of the nanorod arrays in the 3D network. These random 3D-network nanorod arrays with functionally tunable morphology are promising for universal application as gas sensors for detecting various vapors, and provide valuable insights for the production of fast, large-scale, low-cost and simple synthesis of sensing devices.
