Abstract

Micro flowers-like Co3O4 structures have been synthesized by a low-cost single-step hydrothermal route. The XRD pattern and Raman spectra confirmed the cubic crystal structure of Co3O4 and FESEM images displayed that the synthesized Co3O4 attained a flower-like morphology. The higher sensor response ∼22% was recorded for hierarchical 3D flower-like Co3O4 structures at room temperature for 60 ppm NO2 exposure with response (recovery) time of the order of ∼25 (70) s respectively. The flower-like Co3O4 structures attained a reversible, highly stable and selective response towards NO2 at room temperature.
