Abstract
The particle sizes of sensitive material have significant influence on the gas property. We reported at room temperature NO2 gas sensor using SnO2 particles of various size to investigate their impact on sensing performance in a wide concentration range, even at ppb level. Results showed that the gas response increases with the decrease of particle size, mainly attributed to the larger specific surface area of small size to absorb more target gas. The SnO2-40 nm exhibited the highest response to low concentrations of NO2 gas, reaching a value of 106 at 5 ppm, and it can detect trace amounts of NO2 with a detection limit of 100 ppb. The mechanism of gas sensing property is discussed, highlighting the relationship between small size and large specific surface area. This paper provides useful guideline for fabrication high-performance gas sensor with optimized particle sizes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
