Abstract: A highly sensitive and selective element Hg sensor has been developed by using AgCl-H₂Ti₂O₅ (ATO) nanowires composite as a room temperature sensing material. The AgCl-H₂Ti₂O₅ nanowires composite is prepared by combining hydrothermal and photoreduction chlorination route. The H₂Ti₂O₅ nanowires exhibit a nest meso-architecture network with AgCl nanoparticles attached on the nanowires. The element Hg sensing performance of ATO composite sensor was investigated. The sensor shows good sensitivity, selectivity, fast response and recovery sensing features to large concentrations range of element Hg vapour.
