Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of gas sensing materials technology, and discloses a SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal gas-sensitive material based on a polystyrene (PS) microsphere template, its preparation method, and its application. The method includes: pre-treating a glass slide by ultrasonic and solvent cleaning; adding a PS microsphere dispersion to its surface and drying it to form a template layer; preparing a precursor solution by dissolving SnCl2·2H2O and NiCl2·6H2O in ethanol at a predetermined molar ratio; adding the precursor solution to the surface of the PS microsphere template layer and drying it to form a precursor composite layer; calcining at 300–800 °C to remove the template and form a SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal structure; and using the obtained material as a sensitive layer to construct a gas-sensitive element for acetone gas detection. By controlling the molar ratio of Sn to Ni, the gas response / recovery time is effectively shortened, with a Sn:Ni ratio of 3:1 exhibiting superior response kinetics performance. Gas-sensitive testing results show that the SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal composite material with a Sn:Ni molar ratio of 3:1 exhibits a response value of 9.60 and a response time of 176 s to 100 ppm acetone, while the pure SnO2 sample shows a response value of 7.84 and a response time of 207 s. Both the response value and response speed are significantly improved. This material combines a three-dimensional ordered porous structure with the synergistic effect of a p-n heterojunction, which can significantly improve gas diffusion efficiency and interfacial charge transport capability, demonstrating excellent selectivity and concentration response characteristics, making it suitable for the rapid detection of acetone gas.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas sensing materials and devices, specifically relating to a SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal gas-sensitive material based on polystyrene (PS) microsphere templates, its preparation method, and its application in acetone gas detection. Background Technology

[0002] Acetone, a common volatile organic gas, is of great significance for rapid and accurate detection in industrial process control, environmental monitoring, and disease diagnosis. While existing pure SnO2-based gas-sensitive materials can respond to acetone, their response speed remains insufficient, especially in rapid detection scenarios, and further optimization is needed.

[0003] Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors are widely used in gas detection due to their high sensitivity and simple fabrication process. SnO2 is a typical n-type MOS material, possessing advantages such as relatively simple fabrication process, low cost, and chemical stability. Due to its advantages such as good performance, SnO2-based gas-sensitive materials are widely used in the field of gas sensing. However, traditional SnO2-based gas-sensitive materials generally suffer from problems such as slow response / recovery speed and insufficient selectivity.

[0004] Constructing three-dimensional ordered structures (such as photonic crystal structures) and introducing heterojunctions (such as pn junctions) have proven to be effective means of improving gas-sensing performance. Among them, the PS microsphere template method can construct three-dimensional ordered materials with periodic porous structures, while NiO, as a p-type semiconductor, forms a heterojunction with n-type SnO2, which helps to regulate carrier transport behavior and improve gas-sensing performance, providing a new approach for the preparation of novel acetone gas sensors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal gas-sensitive material and its preparation method. By adjusting the molar ratio of Sn to Ni, the gas response time is effectively shortened, and the detection performance of acetone gas is improved. This invention also provides a gas-sensitive element based on this material and its application in rapid acetone detection. The SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal composite material with a Sn:Ni molar ratio of 3:1 exhibits a response value of 9.60 and a response time of 176 s for 100 ppm acetone, while the pure SnO2 sample shows a response value of 7.84 and a response time of 207 s. This indicates that the introduction of NiO not only improves the rapid response capability of SnO2 to acetone but also enhances the sensitivity. Furthermore, combined with concentration tests, selectivity tests, and tests at different operating temperatures, it is evident that the SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal material has good application potential in acetone detection, especially suitable for rapid detection scenarios requiring high response speeds.

[0006] Technical solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for preparing a SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal gas-sensitive material based on a PS microsphere template includes the following steps: ① Pre-treatment of the glass slides. The glass slides are ultrasonically cleaned, and then cleaned with water and ethanol respectively to remove surface impurities.

[0008] ② Add PS microsphere dispersion to the surface of the pretreated glass slide, and construct a PS microsphere template layer on the surface of the glass slide by natural air drying or low temperature drying. The diameter of the PS microspheres is 50~500 nm, and the mass fraction of the PS microsphere dispersion is 1%~18%.

[0009] ③ Weigh and dispense SnCl2·2H2O and NiCl2·6H2O according to a set ratio, dissolve them in ethanol, and use ultrasound-assisted dissolution to obtain precursor solutions with different Sn-Ni ratios. The molar ratio of Sn to Ni is 1:0 to 10:1.

[0010] ④ The precursor solution is dropped onto the surface of the PS microsphere template layer and allowed to stand and dry naturally or at low temperature to evaporate the solvent and form a precursor composite layer; ⑤ Further, the precursor composite layer is calcined to remove the PS template and form a SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal structure; Preferably, the calcination temperature is 300~800 °C and the calcination time is 0.5~24 h.

[0011] The obtained material was loaded as a sensitive layer onto the substrate of a gas-sensitive device for acetone gas detection.

[0012] This invention provides a method for preparing SnO2 / NiO three-dimensional photonic crystal gas-sensitive materials and their application in acetone sensing.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared with existing pure Sn-based gas-sensitive materials, this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The construction of a three-dimensional photonic crystal structure using PS microsphere templates significantly increases the specific surface area and gas diffusion channels; the formation of a pn heterojunction between SnO2 (n-type) and NiO (p-type) enhances the interfacial charge regulation capability; and the gas response / recovery time is effectively shortened by controlling the Sn / Ni molar ratio. Specifically, the Sn:Ni molar ratio of 3:1 sample showed a recovery time of 176 s at 200°C and 100 ppm acetone, significantly shorter than the 207 s of the pure SnO2 sample, indicating that the combination with NiO is beneficial for improving the rapid response / recovery capability of SnO2-based materials to acetone. Within a certain concentration range, the material exhibits a response to acetone that increases with increasing concentration, demonstrating good concentration dependence. Furthermore, the material exhibits a certain selectivity for acetone, showing potential for rapid acetone detection and possessing good application value and development prospects.
