Optimization of the hydrogen response characteristics of halogen-doped SnO₂.

ABSTRACT: The increasing demand for efficient sensing devices with facile low-cost fabrication has attracted a lot of scientific research effort in the recent years. In particular, the scientific community aims to develop new candidate materials suitable for energy-related devices, such as sensors and photovoltaics or clean energy applications such as hydrogen production. One of the most prominent methods to improve materials functionality and performance is doping key device component(s). This paper aims to examine in detail, both from a theoretical and an experimental point of view, the effect of halogen doping on the properties of tin dioxide (SnO₂) and provide a deeper understanding on the atomic scale mechanisms with respect to their potential applications in sensors.
