Sensitivity of the Cu2O octahedral structures towards ethanol, acetone, triethylamine and formaldehyde has been significantly enhanced by increasing the numbers of 1-coordinated Cu (Cu-1c) atoms on the (111) facet of Cu2O octahedrons through hydrogenation. The Cu-1c atom with one dangling bond is considered to be a reaction active center. The active center has three kinds of functions: adsorbing oxygen, creating free electrons and catalyzing the redox reaction between the adsorbed oxygen and the detected gas. The findings can deepen comprehending gas sensing mechanisms and give guidance to design high performance sensing material. In addition, the hydrogenation surface-engineering strategy can be employed to enhance sensing performances of other materials.
