Preparation of g-C3N4 Hybridizing with SnO2 for Isopropanol Gas Sensing Performance in Light
摘要
A g-C3N4-SnO2 composite was prepared with SnO2 and g-C3N4 via planetary the ball milling approach, characterized with scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectra. The g-C3N4-SnO2 composite showed better isopropanol gas sensing performance from 2 ppm to 300 ppm at 473 K in light than without light. The variation in reference resistance voltage shows a clear linear relationship with the increase in isopropanol gas concentration. However, at 334 K without light, the g-C3N4-SnO2 composite showed poor isopropanol gas sensing performance; at 334 K in light, the g-C3N4-SnO2 composite showed weak isopropanol gas sensing performance. In summary, temperature is the main factor influencing gas sensitivity of the g-C3N4-SnO2 composite. The isopropanol gas sensing performance of the g-C3N4-SnO2 composite can be improved at higher temperature in light.
