Abstract

Modulation of oxygen vacancy (VO··) concentrations in SnO2 is an efficient strategy for improving its NO2 sensing performance. However, due to the complex reaction process between NO2 and adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of metal oxide, the role of VO·· is still unclear without in-situ characterization. Here, SnO2 nanowires (NWs) were synthesized via chemical vapor deposition method, and the VO·· concentration in SnO2 NWs was enhanced by removing adsorbed H2O on the surface of precursor during the growth process. The VO··-abundant SnO2 NWs exhibited large improvement in NO2 sensing performance with ultralow detection limit (2 ppb NO2) and high response value towards 1 ppm NO2 (49.5 at 50 °C). Near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to reveal the in-situ sensing reactions occurred on the surface of SnO2 NWs. The results revealed that VO·· provided active sites for adsorption of oxygen species and confirmed the formation of NO. This work demonstrates an easy route to grow SnO2 NW with tunable VO·· concentration, and provides a direct evidence for deeper understanding of the effect of VO·· in sensing process.
