Determination of hydrogen-containing gases in air with SnO2-based sensors
Methods of monodisperse SnO2 crystallites and SnO2-TiO2 composites synthesis were developed. Obtained materials were studied using SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD methods. Sensors based on these materials were made, and their capability of detecting hydrogen in dry and humid air was investigated. Several differ...

| Sumario: | Methods of monodisperse SnO2 crystallites and SnO2-TiO2 composites synthesis were developed. Obtained materials were studied using SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD methods. Sensors based on these materials were made, and their capability of detecting hydrogen in dry and humid air was investigated. Several different approaches to improvement of sensing devises characteristics were proposed in present study: doping of one metal oxide (SnO2) with another (TiO2) in different ways (mixing or co-precipitating); use of one-dimensional nanowire as a sensing element to detect H2S; application of reactor which converts ammonia to a compound convenient for its detection; analysis of n-dimensional experimental data array with principal components method for acetone selective detection with a single sensor. For every approach, promising results indicating potential for their application are obtained. |
