Synthesis of SnS2 Nanosheets for Gas Sensors: Effect of Hydrothermal Temperatures
摘要
Gas sensors have potential application in numerous fields; thus, many studies have focused on the fabrication of high-performance devices. Two-dimensional nanomaterials (SnS2) have been reported as promising material for NO2 detection owing to high absorption energy and high intrinsic conductivity. The gas-sensing capability can be controlled via tuning a material’s characteristics, including morphology and microstructure, which are easily modified by synthesis conditions. Here, layered SnS2 nanomaterials were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method, in which the correlation of reaction temperatures and NO2 gas detection was systematically studied and discussed. We found that the sample prepared at 200°C within 24 h showed the best NO2 sensing performance, achieving a gas response of 163 toward 5 ppm NO2. These results provide a viable strategy and deeper mechanistic insight into the preparation of high-performance NO2 gas-sensing devices for pollutant monitoring applications.
