• Mesoporous n-type hematite bunched nanowires (α-Fe2O3 BNWs) and Zn-, In- and Sn-doped α-Fe2O3 BNWs were synthesized by nanocasting method, and then the influence of the different-valence metals-doping on the microstructures, components and gas-sensing properties is discussed in detail. All samples present mesoporous-structure and are composed of the uniform α-Fe2O3 nanowires. The Zn, Fe, Sn and In-doped concentration decreased with the increasing radius of their hydrated ions. The ethanol gas-sensing results indicate that the different-valence metals-doping greatly affects the response of α-Fe2O3 BNWs sensors to ethanol gas. The sensitivity to 100 ppm ethanol gas increased from 10.046 for Fe1.896Zn0.104O2.948 BNWs sensor up to 45.556 for Fe1.938Sn0.062O3.031 BNWs sensor with the increasing metal valence. The high-valence Sn-doping not only decreases the ground state resistance, but also reduces barrier and work function of α-Fe2O3 BNWs, which results in the improved the sensitivity of α-Fe2O3 BNWs.
