Mesoporous ZnO/Co3O4 microspheres have been prepared via a facile solvothermal process without any alkali source.
Proposed a possible growth process of mesoporous ZnO/Co3O4 microspheres.
The ZnO/Co3O4 microspheres sensors exhibited excellent sensing response as high as 38–43 to 50 ppm ethanol at 275 °C.
