Abstract

Oriented ZnO nanorods are successfully decorated with a thin layer of nano-porous SiO2 film via solution method. The as-prepared ZnO@SiO2 composite nanostructure displays superior stability for the detection of a low concentration H2S. A molecule-isolation mechanism is suggested to interpret the improved H2S sensing properties of the ZnO@SiO2 composite nanostructure.
