Abstract

High-quality SnO2 thin-film materials capable of detecting H2S gas of low concentrations at room temperature was demonstrated in this paper. We employed aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition process for the deposition of SnO2 thin films on alumina substrates with pre-patterned electrodes. The gas-sensing performances of the films prepared under different deposition conditions were systematically compared and analyzed. When SnCl2·2H2O was used as the precursor, a response sensitivity of 98.4 toward 50 ppm of H2S at room temperature was achieved. At room temperatures, the resistance upon the H2S gas exposure could recover to 90% of the initial resistance of the sensor when the H2S gas flow was turned off.
