نویسنده
چکیده
Paper presents results of study aimed the tin dioxide nanowire gas sensing performance improvement via in situ functionalization with NiO. Developed nanostructures have demonstrated improved by order gas sensitivity toward H2 and CO and drastic increase of selectivity to H2 against CO. Obtained results are discussed from the point of view of NiO/SnO2 heterojunction formation and its influence on electrical transport through nanowire and nanowire interaction with target gases.

One-dimensional (1D) SnO2-coated ZnO nanowire (SnO2/ZnO NW) N-N heterojunctions were successfully constructed by an effective solvothermal treatment followed with calcination at 400 °C. The obtained samples were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, Scanning TEM coupled with EDS and XPS analysis, which confirmed that the outer layers of N-type SnO2 nanoparticles (avg. 4 nm) were uniformly di...
