Abstract: | "Rational design of tin dioxide (SnO(2)) nanomaterials with superior architectures and outstanding physicochemical capabilities is highly desirable for gas sensors. Here, three SnO(2) nanostructures with different morphologies, particles, core-shell spheres and facet-exposed crystals, are developed and further applied to track amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Porous SnO(2) core-in-hollow-shell sphere-based sensors exhibited enhanced sensing properties, especially a higher sensitivity than SnO(2) particles. The monocrystalline SnO(2) single-crystal-based sensor, which has dominant exposed (1?ª+1?ª+0) and (2?ª+2?ª+1) facets, also showed a superior sensing performance, especially faster response/recovery speed than the SnO(2) particle-based sensor. The enhanced gas-sensing properties are mainly ascribed to the structural sensitization, and these results further confirm that the SnO(2) core-shell structure and exposed single crystal exposed with high energy can provide more numerous active sites for gas molecule adsorption than that of SnO(2) particles" |
