摘要

Gold (Au) nanoparticle-decorated octahedral Cu2O was synthesized and evaluated for ozone sensing at room temperature. Different Au loadings (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt%) were incorporated to determine the optimum composition for maximum sensing performance. Structural and morphological characterizations were carried out using XRD, FESEM-EDX, and TEM analyses. The sensing studies were performed against 1 ppm ozone at room temperature under a relative humidity of 50 ± 3%, and stability was assessed over three consecutive cycles. Among all samples, the 3 wt% Au/Cu2O composite exhibited the highest sensor response (83.4–1 ppm ozone), with a response time (T90) of 319 s and recovery time (Tr90) of 934 s. Furthermore, this composition demonstrated an excellent detection limit of 1.12 ppb, highlighting its potential as a highly sensitive and stable material for low-concentration ozone sensing applications.
