Abstract: NiO nanofilms were synthesized by sol-gel dip-coating method using the mixture of NiC4H6O4·4H2O, NH3·H2O and C3H8O as the precursor. The effects of pulling speed and coating layer on the morphology, structure and NO2 sensing properties of NiO nanofilms were investigated. Uniform and porous NiO nanofilms were obtained under the preparation conditions of pulling speed of 400μm/s and coating layer of 2. The films were composed of cubic nanocrystalline NiO particles with the diameter of 20~30nm. NO2 sensing measurements demonstrated that NiO nanofilms with p-type semiconductor characteristic show good response-recovery properties as well as excellent reversibility. NO2 sensing mechanism of NiO nanofilms was investigated and discussed.

Key words: NiO nanofilm, sol-gel method, NO2, gas sensing properties, gas sensing mechanism
