A Study of the CO Sensing Responses of Cu-, Pt- and Pd-Activated SnO2 Sensors: Effect of Precipitation Agents, Dopants and Doping Methods

In this work, we report the synthesis of Cu, Pt and Pd doped SnO2 powders and a comparative study of their CO gas sensing performance. Dopants were incorporated into SnO2 nanostructures using chemical and impregnation methods by using urea and ammonia as precipitation agents. The synthesized samples...
