Enhanced NO2 sensing performance of hierarchical nanosheets-assembled SnO2/SnS2 hollow microsphere at low temperature
Accurate monitoring of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is critical for environmental protection and human health. In this study, hierarchical SnS2 hollow microspheres assembled from nanosheets were synthesized via a hydrothermal method, followed by the in-situ oxidation of SnS2 to form SnO2/SnS2 nanocomposites at calcination temperatures ranging from 300 to 400 °C. The synergistic effect of the unique hollow morphology and the SnO2-SnS2 heterojunction significantly enhanced the NO2 sensing performance. Gas-sensing tests revealed that the SnO2/SnS2-320 sensor (calcined at 320 °C) exhibited a better response value of 50 toward 5 ppm NO2 at an optimal operating temperature of 100 °C, which is approximately 5 times higher than that of pristine SnS2. Additionally, the SnO2/SnS2-320 sensor demonstrated excellent repeatability, long-term stability, and selectivity toward NO2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirmed that the SnO2/SnS2 heterostructure exhibited a higher NO2 adsorption energy (−0.040 eV) compared to pure SnS2 (−0.001 eV), indicating stronger chemisorption, which is consistent with the experimental results. This work provides a novel structural design strategy for developing high-performance NO2 sensors.
