Nanocrystalline SnO2 Functionalized with Ag(I) Organometallic Complexes as Materials for Low Temperature H2S Detection.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a comparative analysis of H2S sensor properties of nanocrystalline SnO2 modified with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) as reference sample or Ag organic complexes (AgL1 and AgL2). New hybrid materials based on SnO2 and Ag(I) organometallic complexes were obtained. The microstructure, compositional characteristics and thermal stability of the composites were thoroughly studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy (XRF), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Gas sensor properties to 2 ppm H2S demonstrated high sensitivity, selectivity toward other reducing gases (H2 (20 ppm), NH3 (20 ppm) and CO (20 ppm)) and good reproducibility of the composites in H2
