Structural aspects of Psi layer and SnO2:CuO nanostructures were inspected by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Sensing performances of the prepared sensor were investigated essentially in a vacuum case and with NH3 gas of different concentrations 50 ppm, 100 ppm, and 150 ppm at the room temperature. XRD analysis showed a small nanocrystallite and a large specific surface area that could improve the gas sensing application, and the FE-SEM features depicted a tree-like structure that made the material adsorb a huge amount of ammonia molecules. Topography of the area displayed a roughness with a small average grain size surface. The sensing performances of Al/SnO2/PSi/Al, and Al/SnO2:CuO/PSi/Al sensors are governed by the CuO content. The best sensing for NH3 gas was obtained at 30% CuO nanoparticles added to 70% SnO2. The Al/SnO2:CuO/PSi/Al sandwich structures sensor has a fast response and recovery times of 8 sec and 10 sec at the room temperature, respectively, and a high sensitivity to NH3 of about 0.9 owing to the higher value of specific surface area of the SnO2:CuO nanocomposites and the resulting barrier height.","PeriodicalId":186251,"journal":{"name":"TECHNOLOGIES AND MATERIALS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY: TMREES19Gr","volume":"349 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132499768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The size (18-33 nm), roughness (2-8 nm ) and purity of synthesized CuO NPs were examined by AFM and EDX.

It has been found that as the calcination temperature increases, the size of nanoparticle increases due to atomic diffusion. The size of nanoparticles at the same calcination temperature is smaller when using ethanol as a solvent instead of water due to the difference in the alcoholic chain.
