The study showed that a high concentration of PS template significantly influences the continuity and H2 sensing performance of porous SnO2 films, with the film containing 0.1 wt% PS microspheres exhibiting the best performance. At 225 degrees C, the response magnitude of the porous 1 mol% Pd-doped SnO2 thin film to 1000 ppm H2 is 93.18, approximately 10.58 times that of the pure sample.
Porous pure and Pd-doped SnO2 films are prepared using sol-gel synthesis with polystyrene (PS) microspheres as the template. Different characterizations are performed to analyze the microstructure and morphology of the films. The sensing performance of the films at various temperatures and hydrogen concentrations is investigated. Results show that high concentration of PS template significantly influences the continuity of films and the H2 sensing performance. The porous SnO2 film with 0.1 wt% PS microspheres exhibits the best performance. At 225 degrees C, the response magnitude of the porous 1 mol% Pd-doped SnO2 thin film to 1000 ppm H2 is 93.18, which is approximately 10.58 times of the pure sample.
