通过化学氧化聚合法和胶溶法分别制备了聚噻吩(PTP)和纳米WO3,通过简单机械共混和PTP和WO3制备不同PTP质量分数的有机-无机PTP/WO3复合物。所制备的PTP/WO3复合物比纯的PTP具有更高的热稳定性。气敏测试结果表明,在低温检测NO2时,PTP/WO3复合物具有比纯的PTP和WO3更高的响应,这可能与PTP/WO3复合物中p-n异质节的存在有关系。PTP/WO3复合物的响应受PTP质量分数的影响显著,20%PTP/WO3复合物在低温(〈90°C)时对NO2显示出高的响应和好的选择性。因此,PTP/WO3传感器有望被用于低温检测NO2
Polythiophene (PTP) was prepared by a chemical oxidative polymerization and nanosized WO3 was prepared by a colloidal chemical method. The organic-inorganic PTP/WO3 hybrids with different mass fractions of PTP were obtained by a simple mechanically mixing the prepared PTP and WO3. The as-prepared PTP/WO3 hybrids have a higher thermal stability than the pure PTP. The gas sensing measurements demonstrate that the PTP/WO3 hybrid sensors exhibit higher response for detecting NO2 at low temperature than the pure PTP and WO3 sensor. The sensing mechanism is suggested to be related to the existence of p-n heterojunctions in the PTP/WO3 hybrids. The response of the PTP/WO3 hybrids is markedly influenced by the PTP mass fraction. The 20% PTP/WO3 hybrid shows high response and good selectivity to NO2 at low temperature (〈90℃). Therefore, the PTP/WO3 hybrids can be expected to be potentially used as gas sensor material for detecting NO2 at low temperature.
