摘要

Tubular ZnO microstructure arrays were fabricated on a large scale by a two-step hydrothermal method. The porous ZnO tubular structures were then used to construct a gas sensor for CO detection. The microtube array gas sensor showed sensitive response to different concentration of CO with an optimum temperature of 250 degrees C. Because of the large surface to volume ratio, the sensitivity of the microtube arrays was about twice of that of the ZnO rods. Our results indicate that this simple two-step method for fabrication of large-scale tubular microstructure arrays can be potentially used in gas sensor applications with improved performance.
