The mesoporous structure was controlled by C20H37O 7SNa, while the macroporous structure was controlled by polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. The introduction of macropores by the addition of PMMA microspheres into mp-SnO2 tends to increase the pore diameter and crystallite size. The large amount of macropores introduced into mp-SnO2 sensors by the addition of PMMA microspheres in the preparation process significantly increased the resistance of all the sensors. Among all those tested, the mp-SnO2 sensor with only 5 wt% Sb 2O5 added exhibited the largest response at 400°C. The 70% response and recovery times could be reduced by the introduction of macropores., Sensors and Materials, 21(5), pp.241-250; 2009}, pages = {241--250}, title = {Preparation of Mesoporous and meso-macroporous SnO2 powders and application to H2 gas sensors}, volume = {21}, year = {2009} }
