Abstract

Tin oxide nanoparticles for gas sensing application have been synthesized with an aerosol method. The particles were manufactured with the versatile Flame spray Pyrolysis (FSP) method producing highly crystalline powders with closely controlled a primary particle and crystallite size of 10 nm and 17 nm. The single crystalline particles were only slightly aggregated and directly used for thick film sensor deposition by drop coating and screen printing.The flame made SnO2 nanoparticles showed high and rapidresponse to reducing gases such as propanal and CO.
