Abstract
Mesoporous tin oxide(SnO2/with a high surface area of 147.5 m2/g has been successfully synthesized via self-assembly process, combining the driven forces of water-evaporation and molecular interactions. Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron micrograph, Fourier transform infrared and BrunauerEmmett-Teller were employed to analyze the morphology and crystal structure of the as-synthesized mesoporous materials. As a gas sensor, mesoporous SnO2 shows impressive performances towards NOx gas with high selectivity and stability as well as ultra high sensitivity about 94.3 to 10 ppm NOx gas at 300℃. The best response time of the sample S-500 is about 3.4s to 10 ppm NOx at 450℃.-
