Abstract

An ethanol-sensing powder (La2O3@Sb-SnO2), mixture composed of 1.00 wt.% La2O3 and 99.00 wt.% Sb-doped SnO2 (Sb-SnO2), was found to possess enhanced sensitivity towards ethanol: typically, for La2O3@Sb-SnO2, the ratio of the response towards 1000 ppm ethanol vapor to that of 1000 ppm CO is 26.1 (60.0/2.3) under operating temperature of 250 °C; while for Sb-SnO2, the ratio is only 4.5 (9.0/2.0). A suggestive mechanism on enhanced ethanol sensing is discussed.
