The effect of Pt nanoparticles loading on H2 sensing properties of flame-spray-made SnO2 sensing films

SnO2 nanoparticles loaded with 0.2-2 wt% Pt have successfully been synthesized in a single step by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) and investigated for gas sensing towards hydrogen (H2). According to characterization results by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, scanning/high resolution-transmissio...

According to characterization results by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, scanning/high resolution-transmission electron microscopy and analyses based on Hume-Rothery rules using atomic radii, crystal structure, electronegativities, and valency/oxidation states of Pt and Sn, it is conclusive that Pt is not solute in SnO2 crystal but forms nanoparticles loaded on SnO 2 surface.

The optimal SnO2 sensing film (0.2 wt% Pt-loaded SnO2, 20 μm in thickness) showed an optimum H2 response of ∼150.2 at 10,000 ppm and very short response time in a few seconds at a low optimal operating temperature of 200 °C.
