Abstract

In this work, we present chemical nanosensors based on ultrathin CuO/Cu₂O films, which are fabricated by thermal evaporation and subsequent oxidation on SiN-based micro-hotplate chips. The sensors are tested against target gas carbon dioxide (CO₂). The CuO/Cu₂O films are functionalized with Au nano-particles (Au-NPs) stabilized with citrate. The Au-NPs clearly increase the sensor response in particular for CO₂ up to 310%.
