Abstract
Porous SnO2 nanostructured film gas sensor was fabricated by spray pyrolysis route using tin chloride pentahydrate (SnCl4•5H2O) and PdCl2 dopant as starting material. The phase, morphology and porous microstructure of the samples were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM and BET, respectively. Hydrogen sensitivity test reveals that the nanostructured gas sensor processes rapid response in 10-4concentration of H2 at temperature below 150 ℃, and the phenomenon can be attributed to pore structure and the improvement of gas absorption and catalytic effect of Pd dopant.
