Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron micrograph, Fourier transform infrared and BrunauerEmmett-Teller were employed to analyze the morphology and crystal structure of the as-synthesized mesoporous materials. As a gas sensor, mesoporous SnO_2 shows impressive performances towards NOx gas with high selectivity and stability as well as ultra high sensitivity about 94.3 to 10 ppm NO_x gas at 300 ℃. The best response time of the sample S-500 is about 3.4 s to 10 ppm NO_x at 450℃.展开更多

The SnNR/AAO/Al electrode was fabricated by a second step anodization, followed by electrodeposition and its electrochemical behavior was investigated in detail. The cyclic voltammetry results indicated that the SnNR/AAO/Al electrode exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity toward reduction of ONB in the acidic solution. It provides an appreciable improvement of reduction peak for ONB at-0.721 V.Furthermore, various kinetic parameters such as transfer electron number, transfer proton number and standard heterogeneous rate constant were calculated from the scan rates.The electrocatalytic behavior was further exploited as a sensitive detection scheme for the ONB determination by differential pulse voltammetry. Under the optimized conditions, the concentration range and detection limit are 0.1-100 μmol/L and 0.05 μmol/L, respectively,for ONB. The analytical performance of this modified sensor has been evaluated for detection of real sample such as river water and recovery of ONB was achieved all-out up to102.3% under standard addition method.展开更多
