Abstract

We report the gas-sensing properties of pristine and SnS2 functionalized TeO2 nanowires (NWs). TeO2 NWs were synthesized by a vapor–liquid–solid growth method, and SnS2 functionalization was performed using an atomic layer deposition technique followed by thermal treatment. Structural and morphological analyses verified the formation of pristine and SnS2 functionalized TeO2 NWs with desired composition, phase, and morphology. Interestingly, sensing results showed that the pristine TeO2 NW gas sensor had better sensing properties relative to the SnS2 functionalized TeO2 NW gas sensor. An underlying sensing mechanism is explained in detail, and reasons for the decrease of sensing performance with the SnS2 functionalized TeO2 NW sensor was attributed to the coverage of TeO2 surface by the SnS2 nanoparticles.
