摘要

Gas sensors play a critical role in ensuring safety, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control. In this study, carbon nanostructures synthesized from onion waste were employed to develop free-standing Carbon/TiO2 thin films through a hydrothermal method, offering an eco-friendly approach for advanced sensing applications. Grown free-standing Carbon/TiO2 composite film exhibits a unique morphology, featuring tube-like carbon structures decorated with broccoli-flower-shaped TiO2 formations, with an average flower diameter of 8 ± 0.2 µm. A chemiresistive sensor fabricated from carbon/TiO2 composite shows a high response of 339% at 100 ppm NO2 compared to pure TiO2 nanostructures, highlighting its superior gas-sensing performance. In addition, the formation of a free-standing Carbon/TiO2 composite simplifies the fabrication process of the chemiresistive gas sensor, offering a cost-effective and scalable approach for sensor development.
