Synthesis of mesoporous tin oxide and its application as a LNG sensor.
The nanostructured SnO2 gas sensor with Au electrodes and Pt heater has been fabricated as one unit via screen printing process. The gas sensor was tested for CH4 sensing behavior at 350 degrees C in the concentration range of 500-10,000 ppm. Those mesoporous SnO2 sensors exhibited the similar sensoring properties in CH4 and CO detection. The fast speed of response and high sensitivity were obtained for mesoporous tin oxide sensor as compared to non-porous one.
