Pure as well as 2 mol.%, 4 mol.%, 6 mol.% and 8 mol.% Sm2O3 doped SnO2 nanostructured samples were synthesized by using a co-precipitation method.

The gas response studies of liquid petroleum gas, ammonia, ethanol and acetone vapor were carried out. The results showed that Sm doping systematically lowered operating temperature and enhanced the gas response and selectivity for acetone.
