SnO 2 has been a commonly researched gas-sensing material due to its low cost, good performance, and good stability. However, gas sensors based on pure SnO 2 usually show a low response or high working temperature. In this work, laminar SnO 2 was obtained by using a Sn-based metal organic framework(Sn-MOF)@SnO 2 as a precursor. Sn-MOF@SnO 2 is prepared at low temperatures using water and dimethylformamide as a solvent, which is simple, low cost, and easily reproducible. After sintering, Sn-MOF@SnO 2 is derived to SnO 2 with rich adsorbed oxygen, large specific surface area, and unique nanoparticle piled pores, thus showing excellent gas-sensing properties. The prepared SnO 2 has an ultrahigh response value of 10,000 to 10 ppm formaldehyde at an optimal working temperature of 120 °C, a fast response/ recovery time of 33 s/142 s, and an actual detection limit of lower than 10 ppb as well as high selectivity and high stability. Density functional theory calculations show that the exposed (110) plane of oxygen-rich vacancies in laminar SnO 2 can effectively increase the coadsorption capacity of O 2 and formaldehyde molecules, thereby improving the formaldehyde gas-sensing performance of the material. The present original approach paves the way to design advanced materials with excellent gas-sensing properties as well as broad application prospects in formaldehyde monitoring.
Triethylamine (TEA) significantly harms the human body, so it is important to develop a TEA gas sensor with excellent performance for TEA detection. In this work, a Pd/PdO-In2O3 TEA gas...
