The microstructures of obtained SnO2-CuO powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption test. The results show that the nanocomposites exhibited coral-like nanostructure, and the average crystalline size of SnO2 was 12 nm. The specific surface area of the four samples, SnO2- 0.2CuO, SnO2-0.5CuO, SnO2-1.0CuO and SnO2-2.0CuO are 72.97, 58.77, 49.72 and 54.95 m2/g, respectively. The gas sensing performance of the four samples to ethanol, formaldehyde and H2S was studied. The sensor of SnOa-0.5CuO exhibited high response to hydrogen sulfide （4173 to 10 ppm H2S, where ppm represent 10-6）, and low response to ethanol and formaldehyde. The good selectivity exhibited that the SnO2-0.5CuO nanocomposite can be a promising candidate for highly sensitive and selective gas-sensing material to H2S.展开更多

The powders were characterized by thermogravimertric(TG) analysis and differential thermal analysis(DTA), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The electrochemical properties of SnO2-CuO and undoped SnO2 powders as anode materials of lithium ion batteries were investigated comparatively by galvanostatic charge-discharge experiments and AC impedance. The results show that SnO2-CuO nanocomposite powders with the average particle size of 87 nm can be obtained by this method. The structure of SnO2 does not change with the introduction of CuO, but the average particle size of nano-SnO2 decreases. SnO2-CuO nanocomposite powders show a reversible capacity of 752 mA·h/g and better cycleability compared with nano-SnO2. The capacity retention rates after 60 cycles of nano-SnO2-CuO and SnO2 are 93.6% and 92.0% at the charge- discharge rate of 0.1 C, respectively, which suggests that the introduction of CuO into SnO2 can improve the cycleability of nano- SnO2.展开更多

The samples were characterized by means of TG-DTA, XRD, H2-TPR and XPS. The catalytic activity of the CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalysts was markedly depended on the loading of CuO, and the optimum CuO loading was 8 wt.% （Tloo = 80 ℃）. The CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity than the CuO/TiO2 and CuO/SnO2 catalysts. H2-TPR result indicated that a large amount of CuO formed the active site for CO oxidation in 8 wt.% CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalyst.展开更多
