Abstract
Developing the triethylamine sensor with excellent sensitivity and selectivity is important for detecting the triethylamine concentration change in the environment. In this work, flower-like CeO2-SnO2 composites with different contents of CeO2 were successfully synthesized by the one-step hydrothermal reaction. Some characterization methods were used to research the morphology and structure of the samples. Gas-sensing performance of the CeO2-SnO2 gas sensor was also studied and the results show that the flower-like CeO2-SnO2 composite showed an enhanced gas-sensing property to triethylamine compared to that of pure SnO2. The response value of the 5 wt.% CeO2 content composite based sensor to 200 ppm triethylamine under the optimum working temperature (310 °C) is approximately 3.8 times higher than pure SnO2. In addition, CeO2-SnO2 composite is also significantly more selective for triethylamine than pure SnO2 and has better linearity over a wide range of triethylamine concentrations. The improved gas-sensing mechanism of the composites toward triethylamine was also carefully discussed.
