Abstract: A nanostructured InN-In2O3 composite material was prepared by chemical synthesis. Based on the synthetic material, we prepared a fast-response gas sensor for the detection of ethanol gas. Nano-sized In2O3 particles were synthesized by hydrothermal method, spin-coated on a ceramic substrate, and obtained an InN substrate after nitriding treatment. The InN substrate was then oxidized to synthesize a gas-sensitive material and a sensor device was prepared on a miniature planar electrode sheet. The morphology and composition of the materials were characterized and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffractometer(XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The results showed that the final InN-In2O3 nanocomposite with a pine-like structure was presented. The corresponding gas-sensitive performance of the device was also tested, and it was proved that the flat-type gas-sensitive sensor prepared based on this material has good gas-sensitive performance for ethanol gas:The sensitivity of detecting ethanol vapor at a concentration of 1.025 mg/m3(500 ppb) can reach 18; The response of detecting 2.05 mg/m3(1 ppm) ethanol the fastest recovery time is only 1s; the best working temperature is low, only 50℃.
