Abstract

We report the microstructures and gas sensing properties of two novel SnO nanorods prepared by hydrothermal method with the utilizing of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and polyethylene glycol. The structures and morphologies of the dense and porous nanorods were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The gas sensing performances towards ethanol of the two samples were investigated. The results show that the porous SnO nanorods display excellent gas response to ethanol, indicating SnO as a potential gas sensing material for broad applications.
