In2O3-SnO2 hybrid porous nanostructures delivering enhanced formaldehyde sensing performance
Novel In 2 O 3 -SnO 2 hybrid sensing nanostructures with porous nature were successfully prepared and characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Gas sensing properties of the fabricated sensor based on the as-prepared In 2 O 3 -SnO 2 hybrid nanostructures were systematically investigated and compared with those of pure SnO 2 . The hybrid nanostructures containing 3% In 2 O 3 exhibit the highest response value of 30.7–100 ppm formaldehyde at 100 °C, which was 14 times higher than that of pure SnO 2 . Moreover, gas sensors based on the as-prepared In 2 O 3 -SnO 2 hybrid nanostructures also exhibit high stability and good selectivity for formaldehyde. The enhanced sensing performances of formaldehyde were mainly attributed to the formation of n-n heterojunctions and the synergistic interaction between In 2 O 3 and SnO 2 .
