Abstract:
In recent years, H
2S as a novel biomarker for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is of great significance to human health monitoring, so it is urgent to study H
2S sensors with low power consumption, high selectivity, low detection limit and high stability. Co(CO

3 nanomaterials were grown in situ on WO
3 nanosheets by regulating the water bath reaction time using WO
3 nanosheets as a substrate synthesized by in situ hydrothermal method. The composites were characterized by FE-SEM, FTIR, XRD and TG, and then tested for gas sensing performance. The results show that the Co(CO

2S gas at the optimal working temperature (90℃) is as high as 109. The response and recovery time are 130 s and 182 s respectively, showing excellent selectivity for H
2S gas. The composite still has a good response/recovery curve in low concentration H
