This paper develops a novel ultrasonic spray-assisted solvothermal (USS) method to synthesize wrapped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites with a Schottky junction for gas-sensing applications. The as-obtained ZnO/rGO- x samples with different graphene oxide (GO) contents ( x = 0-1.5 wt %) are characterized by various techniques, and their gas-sensing properties for NO 2 and other VOC gases are also evaluated. The results show that the USS-derived ZnO/rGO samples exhibit high NO 2 -sensing property at low operating temperatures (e.g., 70-130 °C) because of their high specific surface area and porous structures when compared with the ZnO/rGO sample obtained by the traditional precipitation method. The content of rGO shows an obvious effect on their NO 2 -sensing properties, and the ZnO/rGO-0.5 sample has a high response of 62 operating at 130 °C, three times that of pure ZnO. The detection limit of the ZnO/rGO-0.5 sensor to NO 2 is as low as 10 ppb under the present test condition. In addition, the ZnO/rGO-0.5 sensor shows a highly selective response to NO 2 gas when compared with organic vapors and other inflammable or toxic gases. The theoretical and experimental analyses indicate that the enhancement in NO 2 -sensing performance of the ZnO/rGO sensor is attributed to the formation of wrapped ZnO/rGO Schottky junctions.
