Key Points

The novel SnO2-QD/CuO nanocomposite significantly improves sensitivity for NO2 and H2 gas detection.
Sensitivity is enhanced through the presence of p–n heterojunctions, facilitating effective charge transfer.
Gas sensing tests were conducted at 100 °C, demonstrating effectiveness over a range of concentrations.
This approach supports the development of more efficient nanosensors for environmental monitoring.

Implication

Novel SnO2 quantum dots/CuO composite improves NO2 and H2 gas sensing sensitivity, highlighting p–n heterojunction benefits.

Abstract

A novel SnO 2 -QDs/CuO nanocomposite, with CuO as base and SnO 2 as modifier, is used for NO 2 (20 ppb to 1 ppm) and H 2 (10–250 ppm) sensing at 100 °C. The presence of p–n heterojunctions facilitates charge transfer and increases sensitivity.
