Abstrakt: Butanol, a highly toxic volatile organic compound, poses significant health risks. Consequently, the creation of efficient gas-sensitive materials for butanol detection holds substantial practical significance. This study employed a secondary hydrothermal technique to synthesize In 2 O 3 , BiVO 4 , and their composite In 2 O 3 /BiVO 4 . Notably, the In 2 O 3 /BiVO 4 composite exhibited a threefold enhanced response, short desorption time and low operating temperature compared to pure BiVO 4 . Moreover, the composite demonstrated improved selectivity, certain moisture-proof performance, and prolonged stability. The synthesis strategy, which entailed growing microspherical In 2 O 3 on BiVO 4 , led to structural modifications, enhanced surface area, increased oxygen adsorption capacity, an enlarged optical bandgap, and improved anti-interference ability of the device. As a result, the formation of an n-n heterojunction between In 2 O 3 and BiVO 4 in the composite material translates into an outstanding butanol sensing device.
