The molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) thin films have been successfully deposited onto the glass substrates using chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) deposition technique at various substrate temperatures ranging from 300°C to 450°C with an interval of 50°C. The effect of substrate temperature on the structural, morphological, optical and gas sensing properties of MoO3 thin films has been thoroughly investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that all the films have an orthorhombic crystal structure and are polycrystalline in nature. FE-SEM micrographs depict the formation of nanobelts-like morphology. AFM study reveals that the RMS surface roughness of MoO3 thin films increases from 8.6nm to 12nm with increase in substrate temperature from 300°C to 400°C and then decreases to 11.5nm for substrate temperature of 450°C. Optical results show that the band gap of MoO3 thin films decreases from 3.92eV to 3.44eV. The selectivity studies show that the gas response of various gases varies as NH3<SO2<CO2<CO<H2S<NO2. Moreover, typical MoO3 film deposited at substrate temperature of 400°C is highly selective and sensitive for detection of NO2 gas in comparison with other gases. The maximum response of 30.5 % is obtained towards 100ppm NO2 gas concentration at an operating temperature of 200°C with response and recovery times of 20s and 160s, respectively. Finally, NO2 gas sensing mechanism model based on the chemisorption process is discussed.
三氧化钼(MoO3)薄膜已成功地使用化学喷雾热解(CSP)沉积技术沉积在玻璃基底上,基底温度范围从 300°C 到 450°C,间隔为 50°C。研究了基底温度对 MoO3 薄膜的结构、形态、光学和气体传感性能的影响。X 射线衍射分析表明,所有的薄膜都具有正交晶相结构,且为多晶态。FE-SEM 形貌图描述了纳米带的形成。原子力显微镜(AFM)研究表明,MoO3 薄膜的均方根(RMS)表面粗糙度从 300°C 到 400°C 随着基底温度的升高从 8.6nm 增加到 12nm,然后在基底温度为 450°C 时减小到 11.5nm。光学结果表明,MoO3 薄膜的带隙从 3.92eV 减小到 3.44eV。选择性研究表明,各种气体的气体响应随 NH3<SO2<CO2<CO<H2S<NO2 而变化。此外,与其他气体相比,在基底温度为 400°C 时沉积的典型 MoO3 薄膜对 NO2 气体的检测具有高选择性和敏感性。在 200°C 的工作温度下,对 100ppm 的 NO2 气体浓度的最大响应为 30.5%,响应和恢复时间分别为 20s 和 160s。最后,讨论了基于化学吸附过程的 NO2 气体传感机制模型。
