Abstract

In this study, MIL-53(Al) and Sb2SnO5 were synthesized by hydrothermal and precipitation methods, respectively. The doped MIL-53(Al)/Sb2SnO5 showed excellent catalytic properties, specifically for selectivity and sensitivity for isobutanol (IBN). To assess the catalytic properties of MIL-53(Al)/Sb2SnO5, an IBN gas sensor based on cataluminescence of MIL-53(Al)/Sb2SnO5 was developed, and it demonstrated detection of IBN with high sensitivity, high specificity, fast detection, and good stability. The signal response and recovery time of IBN gas sensor were 0.5 s and 6 s, respectively, and a good linear relation was 0.050–2.5 μg ml−1 (R 2 = 0.9956) with a low detection limit of 0.015 μg ml−1. Further, the IBN sensor applied in the detection of real samples had satisfactory recoveries (90.0%–108%) with relative standard deviations of 3.2%–6.7%. The developed sensor based on MIL-53(Al)/Sb2SnO5 has great prospects for the practical detection of IBN gas in the fields of environmental analysis, safety monitoring, etc.
