摘要

基于SnO2的高灵敏度、快速和低温检测三乙胺(TEA)气体具有吸引力, 但仍然具有挑战性。本文设计了基于SnS2纳米片/SnO2中空多壳结构(HoMSs)的传感器, 首先合成SnO2中空多壳结构, 然后用硫代乙酰胺原位硫化。通过改变硫代乙酰胺的量, 获得了不同SnS2含量的SnS2/SnO2异质结构, 并对其TEA气敏性能进行了研究。SnS2/SnO2-2传感器(在水热过程中使用0.3 g硫代乙酰胺)具有较大的比表面积、紧密的界面接触和最大的异质结协同效应, 在相对较低的160 °C温度下, 对100 ppm TEA的响应率为76, 响应/恢复时间为84/101 s。此外, 传感器响应与气体浓度呈线性关系, 对干扰气体的响应可以忽略不计。此外, 结构良好的SnS2/SnO2-2在长期测试后仍保持稳定的性能。这项工作提供了一种结合形态学设计和异质结结构的简便方法, 为开发更先进的气体传感器铺平了道路。
