In this study, high-throughput experimental technology (HTET) was used to modify the surface of Indium trioxide (In2O3) nanoparticles, and the gas-sensitive properties of the sensors were systematically studied. The results showed that the 0.5 mol% silver modified In2O3 (Ag0.5In) sensor exhibited an ultrahigh response to NO2, fast response and recovery times, high selectivity, and stable repeatability. The enhancement of the excellent NO2 gas sensitivity was mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of the catalysis of the precious metals and the increase of surface chemisorption oxygen.
It often takes much time to obtain the components of high-performance metal oxide semiconductor gas-sensitive materials by inefficient trial and error method. In this study, high-throughput experimental technology (HTET) was used to modify the surface of Indium trioxide (In2O3) nanoparticles, and the In2O3 precious metal gas-ensitive sensors with different surface modification rates were prepared. The gas-sensitive properties of the sensors were systematically studied. HTET can accelerate the synthesis of materials and the screening of gas-sensitive properties, and it significantly improves experimental efficiency. The results show that the 0.5 mol% silver modified In2O3 (Ag0.5In) sensor leads to an ultrahigh response (R-gas/R-air = 923.6) to 5 ppm NO2 at 50 degrees C 5.75 times of the pure In2O3 sensor. In addition, the sensor exhibits fast response (61.3 s) and recovery (106.3 s) times, high selectivity, and stable repeatability. The enhancement of the excellent NO2 gas sensitivity is reached mainly due to synergistic effect of the catalysis of the precious metals and the increase of surface chemisorption oxygen.
