Synthesis of Porous SnO2 with Superior Acetone Sensing Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Porous structures represent a unique class of functional nanomaterials with many applications. In this work, porous SnO2 with 3D networks structures were synthesized by a facile Lewis acid catalytic template method. Techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the products. The porous SnO2 posses large macroscopic scale and porous nanostructure with huge pore volume and large surface exposure area. The sensor based on SnO2 with porous structures exhibited high response to acetone gas (CH3COCH3). It suggests that the as-prepared porous SnO2 is promising candidate for good performance acetone sensor.
