This paper reports a high-performance H₂S gas sensing material that is made of ZnO nanowires (NWs) modified by an optimal amount of ZnS to form nano-heterojunctions. Compared with the intrinsic ZnONWs, the three differently modified nano-heterostructure material ZnO-ZnS-x (x=5, 10, 15) shows significant improvement in sensing performance to H₂S at the working temperatures of 100 400 ℃, especially in the low temperature range (< 300 ℃). The chemiresistive sensor with ZnO-ZnS-10 sensingmaterial exhibits the largest response signal to H₂S among all the other ZnO-ZnS-x (x=5, 10, 15, 20) sensors. Its response signal to 5 ppm H₂S at 150 ℃ is about 2.7 times to that of the ZnO-NWs sensor. Besides, the ZnO-ZnS-10 sensor also features satisfactory selectivity and repeatability at 150 ℃. With the technical advantage attributed to the reduction of the redesigned band gap at the interface between ZnO and ZnS, the ZnO-ZnS heterostructure sensor rather than the traditional ZnO-NWs sensor can be used for high-sensitivity application at low working temperature.
