Micro Semiconductor CO Sensors Based on Indium-Doped Tin Dioxide Nanocrystalline Powders
The precursors of SnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystlline powders have been prepared bythe sol-precipitation method. The precursors were calcined at different temperatures to prepareSnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystalline powders with different particle sizes. The nanocrystalliteswere examined by differential...
