▎ 摘  要

A suitable and non-invasive methanol sensor workable in ambient temperature conditions with a high response has gained wide interest to prevent detrimental consequences for industrial workers from its low-level intoxication. In this work, we present a tunable and highly responsive ppb-level methanol gas sensor device working at room temperature via a bottom-up synthetic approach using exfoliated graphene sheet (EGs) and ZnO quantum dots (QDs) on an aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) template. It is verified that EGs-supported AAO with a vertical electrode configuration enabled high and fast-responsive methanol sensing. Moreover, the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of the high surface area EGs and ZnO QDs with a 3.37 eV bandgap efficiently absorbing UV light led to 56 times high response due to the enhanced polarization on the sensor surface compared to non-UV-radiated EGs/ AAO at 800 ppb of methanol. The optimal resonance frequency of methanol is determined to be 100 kHz, which could detect methanol with high response of 2.65% at 100 ppm. The limit of detection (LOD) concentration is
