Temperature-dependent optical transmittance and gas sensing mechanism of MnSnO3 nanocrystalline thin-films through the nebulizer spray pyrolysis (NSP) technique
In this work, nanocrystalline MnSnO₃ thin films were successfully synthesized using the nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique at substrate temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 600 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the polycrystalline rhombohedral structure, with crystallite size increasing from 25 nm at 300 °C to 42 nm at 600 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed spherical grains at lower temperatures transitioning to larger, plate-like grains (∼110 nm) at 600 °C due to thermally activated grain growth. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) confirmed the elemental composition, and HRTEM-SAED analysis validated high crystalline quality. Optical studies showed that transmittance increased with temperature, and the optical band gap widened from 2.03 eV to 2.50 eV. Gas sensing experiments demonstrated that the films exhibited a maximum sensitivity of 6.7 at 250 ppm ammonia concentration, with impedance spectra indicating significant changes in electrical behavior upon gas exposure. These results highlight the potential of MnSnO₃ thin films for use in high-performance, cost-effective ammonia gas sensors.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
