Urchin-like hierarchical Zn doped CdS powders were successfully synthesized via simple one-pot hydrothermal process. Their SEM and TEM images indicated that the hierarchical structure were assembled by single crystal nanorods with the hexagonal wurtzite phase. EDS element mapping verified that Zn ions were homogeneously distributed among the hierarchical microstructure. The performances of gas sensors based on pure and Zn doped CdS were measured and compared. The results indicated that Zn doping could enhance their responses to some volatile organic compounds and improve its selectivity to ethanol and toluene as well. The possible reasons for this enhancement were investigated. In addition, the sensor based on Zn doped CdS exhibited the ultrafast response and recovery to ethanol (tau(response) <1,tau(recovery) = 8s), indicating that the Zn doped CdS could be a promising gas sensing candidate for online monitoring of ethanol.
