Abstract

Abstract:

SnO2ereduced graphene oxide (SnO2erGO) composites were prepared via a hydroethermal reaction of graphene oxide (GO) and SnCl2?2H2O in the mixed solvent of ethylene glycol and water. During the redox reaction, GO was reduced to rGO while Sn²⁺was oxidized to SnO2, uniformly depositing on the surface of rGO sheets. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), infrared spectra analysis (IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively, and their gas sensing properties were further investigated. Compared with pure SnO2 nanoparticles, the as-prepared SnO2erGO gas sensor showed much better gas sensing behavior in sensitivity and responseerecovery time to ethanol and H2S at low concentrations. Overall, the highly sensitive, quick-responding and low cost SnO2erGO gas sensor could be potentially applied in environmental monitoring area.

Key words: SnO2erGO, Gas sensor, Sensitivity, Responseerecovery time
