An Au/SnO-SnO nanosheet based composite used for rapid detection of hydrogen sulphide
In this work, a new type of H 2 S sensor was fabricated by means of drop-coating of an Au/SnO-SnO 2 nanosheet material, which was prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal reaction, onto a gold electrode in an alumina ceramic tube with the formation of a thin nanocomposite film. The microstructure and morp...

nanosheet material, which was prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal reaction, onto a gold electrode in an alumina ceramic tube with the formation of a thin nanocomposite film. The microstructure and morphology of the nanosheet composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A gas-sensitivity study presented good H

S in a range of 1.0 to 100 ppm with a low detection limit of 0.7 ppm, and a very fast response-recovery time of 22 s for response and 63 s for recovery, respectively. The sensor was also unaffected by ambient humidity and had good reproducibility and selectivity. When being applied to the monitoring of H
