Abstract

$SnO_2$ nanoparticles were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and gas sensors were fabricated using nanoparticles to detect dimethyl methylphosphonate(DMMP) gas. The prepared $SnO_2$ nanoparticles exhibited a high response(72 at $500^{\circ}C$) to 5 ppm DMMP gas compared to commercial $SnO_2$ nanopowders, but their recovery was relatively poor. Various metals(Ni, Sb, Nb) were added to the $SnO_2$ nanoparticles to improve their recovery properties. The focus of this study was to investigate the effects of metal oxide additives on DMMP sensing behavior in $SnO_2$ nanoparticles.
