Enhanced n-pentanol sensing performance by RuCu alloy nanoparticles decorated SnO2 nanoclusters

In this work, the RuCu bimetal was used in gas-sensitive material for the first time. We successfully synthesized small-sized RuCu bimetallic nanoparticles using a simple co-reduction method to modify SnO2 nanoparticle clusters. The structure morphologies of the synthetic materials were characterized and its gas sensing properties were tested in detail. Among them, the sensor based on 0.3 wt% RuCu modified SnO2 materials showed excellent sensing...
