The effects of ethanol concentration in aqueous solution on the microstructure and sensing properties of ZnO nanomaterials were investigated. The results showed that using 25 % ethanol-containing aqueous solution as impregnation solution, snowflake-like ZnO nanomaterials (ZnO-25) showed excellent sensing performance for NO2 at room temperature. It is mainly attributable to the rich channels and large specific surface area of the snowflake-like ZnO, which facilitates the rapid diffusion of the target gas. A large amount of chemisorbed oxygen can promote the surface reaction. In addition, the unremoved carbon during calcination promotes the electrical properties of ZnO. This strategy will provide a new sight on developing a type of sensitive NO2 gas sensing device working at room temperature.
