Gas Sensing Performance of Macroporous SnO2 Thin Film Prepared by Using Carbonaceous Polysaccharide Microspheres as Pore-Forming Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

The macroporous SnO2 thin film has been successfully prepared on alumina substrate with printed Ag interdigital electrodes by sol-gel dip-coating method. The carbonaceous polysaccharide microspheres synthesized by hydrothermal method were used as pore-forming agent. The SnO2 thin film prepared without using carbon microspheres was also synthesized for comparison. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were taken to study the micro-characteristics of samples. The influences of operating temperature, gas concentration and structure feature on the H2S sensing performance of SnO2 thin film samples were systematically studied. Compared with SnO2 thin film prepared without using carbon microspheres, the macroporous SnO2 thin film showed a considerably reduced recovery time and good response-recovery properties.
