Effect of Unsaturated Sn Atoms on Gas-Sensing Property in Hydrogenated SnO2 Nanocrystals and Sensing Mechanism

Abstract Sensing reaction mechanism is crucial for enhancing the sensing performance of semiconductor-based sensing materials. Here we show a new strategy to enhancing sensing performance of SnO2 nanocrystals by increasing the density of unsaturated Sn atoms with dangling bonds at the SnO2 surface t...
