Room-temperature NO2 sensor based on a hybrid nanomaterial of methylammonium tin iodide submicron spheres and tin dioxide nanowires

Perovskite halide materials are currently attracting considerable attention owing to their superior optical and electrical properties. This study proposes a reliable process for synthesizing hybrid nanomaterials made of methylammonium tin iodide (MASnI(3)) submicron spheres and tin dioxide (SnO2) nanowires. Post-fabricated hybrid nanomaterials were investigated for NO2 sensing properties at 25 degrees C in the dark. The effect of moisture on the NO2 sensitivity of this material was investigated. The durability of sensor components using this material was also investigated. In this paper, we also discuss the NO2 sensitivity mechanism of MASnI(3)/SnO2 hybrid nanomaterials in detail.
