Abstract
Porous SnO2/CuO nanosheets were prepared using a one-pot hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized using various analytical techniques. Additionally, porous SnO2 microflowers composed of uniform nanosheets were also produced. The specific surface areas (SSAs) of the porous SnO2/CuO nanosheets microcubes and the porous SnO2 microflowers were measured at 68.21 m2 g−1 and 11.91 m2 g−1, respectively. The porous SnO2/CuO nanosheets sensor displayed the superior sensing properties for isopropanol among the ten gases tested, achieving a maximum response of 51.76 towards 100 ppm isopropanol at an optimal working temperature. The response and recovery times for the SnO2/CuO sensor were recorded at 10 s and 14 s, respectively. Furthermore, the porous SnO2/CuO nanosheets sensor demonstrated excellent stability and repeatability over 28-day cycles, along with a low detection limit of 29 ppb. The combined benefits of the porous structure, larger SSA, and abundant p-n heterojunctions contributed to the enhanced sensing performance.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
