Abstract:
The organic-inorganic nanohybrids are emerging as one of the most attractive sensing materials in the area of gas sensors and usually exhibit some advanced properties because of synergetic/complementary effects between organic molecules and inorganic components. This work demonstrates a novel class of organic-inorganic nanohybrids, Cu 2+ -doped SnO 2 nanograin/poly pyrrole nanospheres, for the sensitive room-temperature H 2 S gas sensing. Doping Cu 2+ in SnO 2 nanograins remarkably enhances the surface potential barrier by tailoring surface defects. After polymerizing pyrrole surrounded nanograins in aqueous media to form the organic-inorganic nanohybrids, the resulting nanoheterojunctions further improve the sensitivity. Additionally, the nanohybrids-based sensor provides high surface area and abounding reaction sites to accelerate gas diffusion and adsorption as well as the electron transfer. Compare with pristine SnO 2 nanograins alone, the sensitivity of using the nanohybrids increases 7 times for the detection of 50-ppm of H 2 S. The response and recovery rate can increase 27 and 22 times at room temperature, respectively. Significantly, this work provides an attractive material for the real-time monitoring of H 2 S, whereas the insights into organic-inorganic composite interactions within the sensing mechanism may pave the way for designing functional materials with tailored properties.
