The invention discloses a gas sensitive material, a preparation method thereof and a mould detection sensor, and belongs to the technical field of gas sensing. The gas sensitive material comprises a
metal oxide matrix and an AuPt bimetallic
alloy nanocluster loaded on the surface of the
metal oxide matrix, wherein the
atomic ratio of Pt to Au in the cluster is (0.1: 1)-(0.5: 1). The preparation method comprises the following steps: synthesizing the ligand-protected AuPt bimetallic nanocluster, anchoring the ligand-protected AuPt bimetallic nanocluster on the surface of the
metal oxide matrix by a post-loading method, and finally
roasting at low temperature to remove the ligand. According to the material, the synergistic effect of the bimetallic
nanoclusters is utilized, and the response rate, the sensitivity and the selectivity to the mould marker 1-octylene-3-
alcohol are remarkably improved. The
detection limit of a sensor constructed based on the material to 1-octylene-3-
alcohol at 150 DEG C reaches 12 ppb, various moulds such as
aspergillus flavus and
aspergillus niger can be effectively recognized, the
detection limit to the
aspergillus flavus is as low as 10 CFU / mL, and the material has application prospects in the field of
food safety monitoring.
