Abstract

Triethylamine is harmful to the internal organs of human body. The Zn-doped MoO3 nanoribbons are prepared by hydrothermal method and analyzed by XRD, SEM, BET, and XPS. The gas sensing test results reveal that Zn doping into MoO3 nanoribbons can improve its gas sensing performance efficiently and the optimal Zn doping concentration in MoO3 is 4 at.%. Finally, the gas sensing mechanism of Zn-doped MoO3 nanoribbons for triethylamine is investigated.
