“…We evaluated a larger (OH plus H 2 O) fraction by $10% for the sample SIC3 as compared to SIC1 and SIC2 beyond the errors in our relative concentrations assignments. This finding is consistent with our sensing measurements indicating SIC3 sample as the most sensitive material as well as in line with reliable results reported in the literature [29][30][31]. …”

“…The adsorption of water molecules on the surface of SnO 2 at low temperature results in the formation of donors attributed to hydroxyl groups bound to the Sn atoms, [ 37 ] which may partially offset the p-type response to H 2 gas in our ZnO-SnO 2 nanorod sensor. However, the hydroxyl groups begin to desorb at T > 200-250 ° C and are virtually absent at T > 400 ° C. [ 38 ] At high operating temperatures of 350 ° C, therefore, the p-type response to 100 ppm H 2 of our ZnO-SnO 2 nanorod sensor is still dominant as the infl uence of RH becomes insignifi cant. and was much thicker when compared to the Zn-O-Sn diffusion layer (as shown in Figure S3d).…”
Section: Sensing Mechanism Of Zno-modifi Ed Sno 2 Nanorod Sensormentioning
Uniform SnO2 nanorod arrays have been deposited at low temperature by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). ZnO surface modification is used to improve the selectivity of the SnO2 nanorod sensor to H2 gas. The ZnO‐modified SnO2 nanorod sensor shows a normal n‐type response to 100 ppm CO, NH3, and CH4 reducing gas whereas it exhibits concentration‐dependent n–p–n transitions for its sensing response to H2 gas. This abnormal sensing behavior can be explained by the formation of n‐ZnO/p‐Zn‐O‐Sn/n‐SnO2 heterojunction structures. The gas sensors can be used in highly selective H2 sensing and this study also opens up a general approach for tailoring the selectivity of gas sensors by surface modification.
“…6-9 corresponds to the parameters of the SnO 2 gas sensors before any surface treatment. Detailed analysis of SnO 2 gas sensor parameters with an unmodified surface can be found in previously published articles [34][35][36][46][47][48][49].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
