Improving Hazardous Gas Detection Behavior with Palladium Decorated SnO(2) Nanobelts Networks
Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs) have been widely used as sensors for various hazardous gases. Among the most studied TCOs is SnO(2), due to tin being an abundant material in nature, and therefore being accessible for moldable-like nanobelts. Sensors based on SnO(2) nanobelts are generally quant...

description | Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs) have been widely used as sensors for various hazardous gases. Among the most studied TCOs is SnO(2), due to tin being an abundant material in nature, and therefore being accessible for moldable-like nanobelts. Sensors based on SnO(2) nanobelts are generally quantified according to the interaction of the atmosphere with its surface, changing its conductance. The present study reports on the fabrication of a nanobelt-based SnO(2) gas sensor, in which electrical contacts to nanobelts are self-assembled, and thus the sensors do not need any expensive and complicated fabrication processes. The nanobelts were grown using the vapor–solid–liquid (VLS) growth mechanism with gold as the catalytic site. The electrical contacts were defined using testing probes, thus the device is considered ready after the growth process. The sensorial characteristics of the devices were tested for the detection of CO and CO(2) gases at temperatures from 25 to 75 °C, with and without palladium nanoparticle deposition in a wide concentration range of 40–1360 ppm. The results showed an improvement in the relative response, response time, and recovery, both with increasing temperature and with surface decoration using Pd nanoparticles. These features make this class of sensors important candidates for CO and CO(2) detection for human health. |
