Preparation of SnO Nanosheets and SnO_2 Fine Powders by Hydrazine Method

摘要

SnO nanosheets and SnO_2 nanopowder were prepared by hydrazine (N_2H_4)-based chemical routes and their gas sensing characteristics were investigated.A SnCl_2-Hydrazine complex (Sn[ N_2H_4)_x]·yH_2O) was formed by a reaction between a SnCl_2 aqueous solution and N_2H_4·H_2O.When this complex was heat-treated at 450℃,SnO_2 nanopowders were prepared by the decomposition of the complex.The sensor fabricated from the SnO_2 nano powders showed a good recovery,fast response and high sensitivity for CO 50μg/g (R_a/R_g=1.87),C_2H_5OH 100μg/g (R_a/R_g=4.80),and acetone 100μg/g (R_a/R_g=1.50).SnO nano- sheets could be prepared when a NaOH solution was added to the solution containing the complex.SnO_2 nano sheets prepared by the oxidation of SnO nanosheets at 700℃in air atmosphere also showed a good sensitivity R_a/R_g=1.79) for CO 50μg/g at 400℃.The hydrazine method provided an effective tool to controlling the morphology and oxidation state of the tin oxide powders.
