Abstract
Recently, element doping has become an effective strategy to improve the gas sensing properties of In2O3-based materials by adjusting their electronic structures. Herein, Pt-modified In2O3 nanobundles, composed of nanofibers, were prepared using a simple hydrothermal method. The dispersion of Pt nanoparticles on the In2O3 surface was achieved through an in-situ reduction process. High-resolution TEM images reveal that the In2O3 nanofibers possess an average diameter of 30 nm. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) indicates that the Pt modification can increase the specific surface area. XPS indicates that the introduction of Platinum(Pt) nanoparticles can both increase the oxygen vacancy ratio, and facilitate to trap the electrons, as a result of improving the sensing performance. The gas sensing tests demonstrate that the Pt decorated In2O3 nanobundles show excellent sensitivity (5.12 of 100 ppm) and selectivity towards formaldehyde at the optimized temperature of 180 °C. This shows that the decoration of Pt nanoparticles can lower the optimized working temperature and shorten the response/recovery times, of which the enhanced performance can be attributed to electronic and chemical sensitization.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
