    Abstract:
    A high-performance sensor for detecting SF6 decomposition components (H2S and SOF2) was fabricated via hydrothermal method using Au nanoparticles/tin oxide/reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs-SnO2-reduced graphene oxide [rGO]) hybrid nanomaterials. The sensor has gas-sensing properties that responded and recovered rapidly at a relatively low operating temperature. The structure and micromorphology of the prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The gas-sensing properties of AuNPs-SnO2-rGO hybrid materials were studied by exposure to target gases. Results showed that AuNPs-SnO2-rGO sensors had desirable response/recovery time. Compared with pure rGO (210/452 s, 396/748 s) and SnO2/rGO (308/448 s, 302/467 s), the response/recovery time ratios of AuNPs-SnO2-rGO sensors for 50 ppm H2S and 50 ppm SOF2 at 110°C were 26/35 s and 41/68 s, respectively. Furthermore, the two direction-resistance changes of the AuNPs-SnO2-rGO sensor when exposed to H2S and SOF2 gas made this sensor a suitable candidate for selective detection of SF6 decomposition components. The enhanced sensing performance can be attributed to the heterojunctions with the highly conductive graphene, SnO2 films and Au nanoparticles.
