Acetylene Sensing Characteristics of SnO2 Nanowires

Article Preview

Abstract:

SnO2 nanowires have been fabricated using thermal evaporation of the mixed powders of SnO2 and active carbon with Au catalysts. The morphology and structure of the prepared nanowires are determined on the basis of field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The comb-shape interdigitating electrode made by MEMS technology is used to auxiliary investigating the gas sensing performance of the synthesized SnO2 nanowires. The SnO2 nanowires have sensing response to acetylene concentration of 1000 ppm under operated temperature of 300°C. The gas sensing mechanism is attributed to the gas adsorption and desorption processes occurring on the surface of the gas sensing material.
