The invention provides a
nitrogen dioxide sensor based on orderly-channel Ni-doped mesoporous
indium oxide and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the technical field of
semiconductor oxide gas sensors. The
nitrogen dioxide sensor is composed of a Al2O3 insulating
ceramic tube 2, a Ni-Cr
alloy heating coil 1 and sensitive material films 4, wherein the outer surface of the Al2O3 insulating
ceramic tube 2 is provided with two discrete annular gold electrodes 3, the Ni-Cr
alloy heating coil 1 penetrates through the Al2O3 insulating
ceramic tube 2, and the outer surface of the Al2O3 insulating ceramic tube 2 and the annular gold electrodes 3 are coated with the sensitive material films 4. Each annular gold
electrode 3 is connected with a pair of
platinum wires 5. The sensitive material films 4 are obtained by being coated by orderly-channel Ni-doped mesoporous
indium oxide. An orderly-channel Ni-doped mesoporous
indium oxide material can provide a large specific surface area, and more active sites are provided easily. More
oxygen vacancy defects are introduced to Ni-doped indium oxide, sensitivity is improved easily, and the
nitrogen dioxide sensor has wide application prospects in the aspect of detection of the
nitrogen dioxide content in the microenvironment.
