Abstract
we built the rutile SnO2 to study SnO2 improving gas sensor properties for rutile structure of SnO2 existing in the SnO2-In2O3 composite materials by X-ray analysis. The surface (110) of SnO2 is a stable structure by analysis of surface energy. Compared with oxidized surface (110), reduced surface (110) has better conductivity and stability. As a result, the CO adsorption changes the electric conductivity of the whole reductive (110) surface, and leads to the deviation of Fermi energy. Therefore, it is an important reason affecting gas sensor properties of the SnO2-In2O3 composite materials. By calculating and simulating the density functional first-principal, the research of the adsorption of rutile SnO2 towards CO provides a theoretical foundation for the argument of the gas sensitivity of porous SnO2-In2O3 composite materials towards CO with the increasing of SnO2 contents.
