The sample was used as sensor for detecting C2H5OH, H2, and CO. Gas-sensing performance was found to be highly sensitive to C2H5OH gas in a wide range of concentration (0.5\u20131250 ppm) with the response of 2.0 towards 0.5 ppm and 89.2 towards 1250 ppm. Obvious difference of response towards C2H5OH, H2, and CO was found that the response e.g., was 33.20, 6.64, and 2.84 respectively at the concentration of 200 ppm. The response time and recovery time of was 32 s and 14 s respectively towards 200 ppm concentration of C2H5OH gas under heating voltage of 6.5 V.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17061203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,24]],"date-time":"2017-05-24T12:13:11Z","timestamp":1495627991000},"page":"1203","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Amorphous In\u2013Ga\u2013Zn\u2013O Powder with High Gas Selectivity towards Wide Range Concentration of C2H5OH"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hongxiang","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Materials Institute, Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Materials Institute, Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lianfeng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Materials Institute, Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Youwei","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Materials Institute, Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1016\/j.matlet.2015.11.092","article-title":"Ultrafast response and recovery ethanol sensor based on SnO2 quantum dots","volume":"165","author":"He","year":"2016","journal-title":"Mater.
