Fe2O3:SnO2 Nanostructured System as Semiconductor Gas Sensor Material
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
In the present work, we report a detailed study based on transmission electron microscopy of the microstructure and composition of the Fe2O3: SnO2 nanometrical binary system obtained by sol-gel. We studied a set of samples based in a pure Fe2O3 material where we added SnO 2 from 0 to 50% Sn-Fe nominal content. The structure of our composites will change from pure a-Fe2O3 to the well-known cassiterite SnO 2 structure for high Sn content. Distortions on the structural parameters will be attributed to the presence Sn4+ ions on the α-Fe2O3 structure and Fe3+ ions on the SnO2 cassiterite structure.
