This invention belongs to the field of
electronic component technology, and discloses a SnTe material for a
nitrogen dioxide gas sensor, its preparation process, and its application. The SnTe material is synthesized via a solvothermal method. The
nitrogen dioxide gas sensor mainly consists of a gas-sensitive material and gold interdigitated electrodes. The gas-sensitive material is coated on the surface of the gold interdigitated electrodes with a
coating thickness of approximately 15mm to 75mm. The gas-sensitive material is SnTe. This invention provides a simple, low-cost, safe, and controllable TMDC nanomaterial preparation scheme. Using
ethanolamine as a
solvent and coordinating agent, and
potassium hydroxide aqueous solution as a
tellurium source activator, this invention synthesizes SnTe
nanomaterials in one step via a solvothermal method. The SnTe
nanomaterials prepared by this invention achieve a small nanoscale size. A large number of small-sized
nanomaterials can effectively increase the sufficient contact between the material and gas molecules, improving the
residence rate of gas molecules on the nanomaterial surface.
