Abstract
SnO2-core/ZnO-shell nanowires were synthesized using a two-step process: the synthesis of SnO2 nanowires by the thermal evaporation of Sn powders followed by the atomic layer deposition of ZnO. The room temperature NO2 gas sensing properties of the nanowires under ultraviolet (UV) illumination were examined. The cores and shells of the nanowires were primitive tetragonal-structured single crystal SnO2 and wurtzite-structured single crystal ZnO, respectively. The responses of multiple networked SnO2 nanowire sensors were increased 2–3-fold at NO2 concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 ppm by encapsulating the nanowires with ZnO. The SnO2-core/ZnO-shell nanowire sensors showed a remarkably enhanced response under UV illumination. The sensing mechanism of the core/shell nanowires under UV illumination is also discussed.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is a leading interdisciplinary journal that brings together chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists to explore the development and utilization of newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes for specific applications. Our journal has experienced remarkable growth since its establishment in 2009, both in terms of the number of articles published and the impact of the research showcased. We are proud to foster a truly global community, with the majority of published articles originating from outside the United States, reflecting the rapid growth of applied research worldwide.
