▎ 摘　　要

Here, we present a new approach to dual-channel gas sensors on the basis of a role-allocated graphene/ZnO heterostructure, formed by the complementary hybridization of graphene and a ZnO thin film. The method enables cyclic and reproducible gas response as well as high gas response. The role allocation of graphene and ZnO was verified by studying the electrical transport properties of the heterostructure. The results indicated that the ZnO top layer and graphene bottom layer act as a gas adsorption layer and a carrier conducting layer, respectively. The charge interactions of the heterostructures were systematically explored by monitoring changes in transfer characteristics at room temperature and elevated temperature (T = 250 degrees C) after introducing 20 ppm NO2. These results can be understood in terms of the dual-channel effect of the graphene/ZnO heterostructures. Remarkably, an abrupt and reliable gas response under periodic NO2 gas injection was unambiguously achieved by the heterostructure-based gas sensors and as similar to 30 times higher than those of a graphene-based gas sensor. These proposed heterostructures represent a fundamental building block of a complementary hybrid gas sensor with highly sensitive and reproducible gas response.
