High Response CO Sensor Based on a Polyaniline/SnO₂ Nanocomposite.

A polyaniline (PANI)/tin oxide (SnO₂) composite for a CO sensor was fabricated using a composite film composed of SnO₂ nanoparticles and PANI deposition in the present study. Tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The SnO₂ nanoparticles provided a high surface area to significantly enhance the response to the change in CO concentration at low operating temperature (<75 °C).
