摘要

SnO2/Fe2(MoO4)3 nanocomposites were prepared by two-step hydrothermal processes. The SnO2/Fe2(MoO4)3 nanocomposite with a molar ratio of Sn to Fe of 1.4 consisted of rutile-type SnO2 and monoclinic Fe2(MoO4)3, and the crystallite sizes of SnO2 and Fe2(MoO4)3 in the composite were about 8 nm. The sensor based on the SnO2/Fe2(MoO4)3 nanocomposite shows a high response of 116.7 to 100 ppm xylene at 200 °C, which was 9.8 times higher than the pure SnO2 sensor. The SnO2/Fe2(MoO4)3 sensor exhibited excellent response, low detection limit, and selectivity to xylene compared with the SnO2 sensor. The improved gas-sensing of the SnO2/Fe2(MoO4)3 nanocomposite was ascribed to the tiny nanocrystallites and large specific surface area and the good catalysis and absorption of Fe2(MoO4)3 to xylene.
