In addition, their gas-sensing properties are compared with those of high-performance SnO2nanoparticles prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP).

The nanostructures formed around the wire were found to be mainly one-dimensional SnO2nanowires (NWs) (10-100 nm in diameter and tens to hundreds micrometers in length) with high aspect ratios (∼1000) and occasionally hierarchical nanoflowers while zero-dimensional SnO2nanoparticles (5-20 nm) were produced by FSP process.

It was found that the SnO2NWs fabricated by HCH showed high and rapid response to H2S with a high response of ∼380 and a short response time of ∼2.3 s at 10 ppm of H2S and a low optimal temperature of 250°C. A comparison between the two SnO2materials reveals that HCH-made SnO2NWs exhibits better H2S-sensing performances in terms of sensor response, response time and optimal operating temperature than FSP-made SnO2nanoparticles. The superior sensing performance of SnO2NWs could be attributed to better physical properties, particularly higher surface-to-volume ratio and highly reactive surface of single crystal NWs. Therefore, the SnO2NWs sensor prepared by HCH is a promising candidate for sensitive detection of H2S. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. 2018-09-04T09:51:46Z 2018-09-04T09:51:46Z 2014-01-01 Journal 09254005 2-s2.0-84905020142 10.1016/j.snb.2014.07.021 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84905020142&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/53568
