Detection of lung cancer biomarkers (LCBs) from exhaled breath in the early stage can lower mortality. We report a highly sensitive dealuminated zeolite Y (DaY)/SnO2 nanoparticle (NP)-based sensor for detection LCBs at low concentrations. The sensing performances were tested with 200 ppb propanol, formaldehyde, and toluene different operating temperatures 175 to 300 °C. was found be efficient p...

The morphology-controlled synthesis of SnO2 hollow/nanoporous nanostructures (nanotubes, urchin-like morphologies and nanospheres) was achieved via a template-engaged replacement reaction at a mild temperature (lower than 80 °C). The formation mechanism of hollow interior and nanoporous walls for the obtained SnO2 nanostructures (SnO2 nanotubes were used as an example) was investigated based on...

Semiconductor sensors based on nanosized Pd-containing tin dioxide have been obtained by a sol-gel technique. Semiconductor gas-sensitive materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Influence of Pd additives on sensitivity of the sensors to methane has been studied. Temperature dependences of electrical resistance in air and sensor...

MQ-6 Semiconductor Sensor for Combustible Gas detection is a Sensitive sensor. The sensitive material of this gas sensor SnO2, which works with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible exist, sensors higher along concentration rising. As increases current circuit results resistance. This change used to correspond, output signal concentration. has high sensitivity Methane, Pr...

SnO2 nanoparticles coated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared via a simple microwave-hydrothermal route. The as-obtained SnO2-CNTs composites were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of as-prepared SnO2-CNTs for degradation of Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation was investigated. The res...

We studied the structural behavior and electrical transport properties of epitaxial a-SnO thin films grown on the (1̄012) a-Al2O3 ~sapphire! substrate. Hall effect measurements revealed that the epitaxial as-deposited SnO film is a p-type semiconductor. In situ x-ray diffraction studies show that the a-SnO phase is metastable and will transform into SnO2 with the rutile type structure when annea...

Tin dioxide (SnO2) is a widely investigated lithium (Li) storage material because of its easy preparation, two-step storage mechanism and high specific capacity for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this contribution, a phase-pure cobalt-doped SnO2 (Co/SnO2) and a cobalt and nitrogen co-doped SnO2 (Co-N/SnO2) nanocrystals are prepared to explore their Li storage behaviors. It is found that the m...

Volatile organoamines are important industrial raw materials and chemicals. Long-term exposure to amines could be harmful human health even cause serious pollution. In this study, SnO2 decorated g-C3N4 material was fabricated used as a sensor for the detection of ethanolamine (EA). The structures, morphology, surface chemical states, band structure were characterized, gas sensing studied. resul...

Ultrasmall SnO2 nanocrystals as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been synthesized by bubbling an oxidizing gas into hot surfactant solutions containing Sn-oleate complexes. Annealing of the particles in N2 carbonifies the densely packed surface capping ligands resulting in carbon encapsulated SnO2 nanoparticles (SnO2/C). Carbon encapsulation can effectively buffer the volum...

Tin dioxide (SnO2) represents an importantmetal-oxide group that can be suitable for a range of applications through the incorporation of dopants. For example, the electrical conductivity of intrinsic SnO2 depends strongly on the surface properties, as molecular adsorption/desorption will affect the band modulation and space-charge layer, which makes SnO2 an important conductance-type gas-sensi...
