摘要:
In this research, a semiconductor metal oxide (SMO)-based gas sensor was designed for the ultrasensitive and tunably selective detection of formaldehyde and acetone. Cobalt-doped 3D inverse opal SnO2multilayer films (3D IO Co-SnO2MFs) used as sensing materials were prepared with the ultrasonic nebulizing deposition (UND) method combined with a self-assembly template. The 3D IO Co-SnO2(Co/Sn=1:24 atom%) MF-based sensor exhibited a much higher response and lower limit of detection to the volatile organic compounds (VOC) gases because of the larger specific surface area, effective gas accessibility, high catalytic activity, and increased chemisorbed oxygen species generated by the elevation of the Fermi level and the narrowing of the band gap. More importantly, the 3D IO Co-SnO2MF-based sensor showed dual-model gas sensing characteristics for selectively detecting formaldehyde and acetone at 200◦C and 225◦C, respectively, because of the difference of the VOC catalytic conversion and surface oxidative reaction rate that was dependent on the operating temperature.
