摘要
The tin dioxide (SnO2) films were been prepared by oxidization of tin black film which was deposited by thermal evaporation. This method can be used for a simple and economical fabrication of a SnO2 gas sensor. These films also have an ultra-porous structure and a grain size in the nanometer. The reduction of particle size to nanometers leads to a dramatic improvement in sensitivity. The particle size and structural properties of SnO2 film were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Through the addition of Pt sol as a catalyst, the SnO2/Pt films acquired an appropriate resistance and stable reaction, though sensitivity decreased. The gas sensing characteristics were also investigated using iso-C4H10, CH4, C3H8, and CO gases. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
