摘要
This work presents a new route for enhancing the sensor response kinetics of macroporous SnO2 films. Well-ordered arrays of SnO2 hollow hemispheres, functionalized with catalytic Pt, were synthesized using colloidal templating and cosputtering, followed by subsequent heat-treatment. The diameter and shell thickness of the Pt-functionalized SnO2 hollow hemispheres were 800 and 25 nm, respectively. High resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis indicates that catalytic Pt nanoparticles, with size of a few nanometers, coat the top surface of SnO2 hemispheres, enabling chemical reactions to proceed at lower temperatures. Sensors composed of Pt-functionalized SnO2 hollow hemispheres show attractive gas sensing characteristics, such as reduced operation temperature (<= 250 degrees C) combined with improved sensitivity (R/R-o = 4.08 to 250 ppm H-2), reduced baseline resistance, and enhanced response/recovery properties compared to sensors using pristine SnO2 hollow hemispheres at an operating temperature of 250 degrees C.
