Here, a pH-mediated hydrothermal strategy for precisely engineering SnO<sub>2</sub> nanostructures toward exceptional ethanol sensing is reported. By systematically tuning hydrothermal pH from 2 to 13, hierarchical control of crystallinity (XRD), particle morphology (SEM/TEM), and band structure (UV-Vis) are achieved. The strong alkaline condition (pH=13) yielded monodisperse 5-10<!-- --> <!-- -->nm nanoparticles with optimized (101) facet exposure, delivering record-high response of 97.2 toward 400 ppm ethanol at 300°C, improvements over acidic (pH=2) and neutral (pH=7) counterparts, respectively. Mechanistic studies reveal that extreme pH conditions promote charge-driven crystallization kinetics, suppressing particle agglomeration while increasing oxygen vacancies. The obtained sensitivity (20.64 ppm<sup>-1</sup>) and linearity (96.95%) surpass some multifactor-modified SnO<sub>2</sub> sensors reported. This single-variable approach demonstrates cost reduction compared to composite modification methods, establishing a generalizable paradigm for transition metal oxide optimization.

Here, small-angle neutron scattering is used to measure precipitate growth in solution-treated and deep-cryogenically treated EN AW-6026-T6 in-situ during artificial aging. The two-dimensional patterns are modelled using spherical Guinier-Porod scatters (representing solute clusters and Guinier-Preston zones) and prolate ellipsoids (representing needle-shaped Mg-Si precipitates). As aging proceeds, the volume fraction and length-diameter ratio of the ellipsoids grow in both samples. However, the transformation from solute cluster to precipitate is more rapid in the DCT sample than in the sample without cryogenic treatment. This supports ex-situ studies on DCT Al alloys, which suggest greater dislocation density increases the precipitate growth rate due to more rapid diffusion of solutes, thus increasing the opportunity for precipitates to absorb solute from the matrix.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143819473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
