Ethanol sensing properties and reduced sensor resistance using porous Nb2O5-TiO2 n-n junction nanofibers

One-dimensional (1D) and porous Nb2O5-TiO2 n-n junction nanofibers with different Nb molar ratios have been synthesized by a simple electrospinning approach. A decrease in the average grain size and consequently an increase in the specific surface area were observed due to the introduction of Nb2O5 into TiO2 nanofibers. In comparison with pure TiO2 nanofibers, the Nb2O5-TiO2 nanofibers exhibited improved ethanol sensing response and a reduction...
