Resumo
Nos últimos anos, o interesse pelos materiais nanoestruturados vem permitindo que esta seja uma das áreas de maior evolução científica. O estudo das propriedades destes materiais caminha em passos largos e os resultados indicam que existem muitas vantagens em se utilizar materiais em escala reduzida. Neste trabalho, nanoestruturas de óxido de estanho foram sintetizadas pelo método de redução carbotérmica a fim de verificar o comportamento desses materiais como sensores de gás. Os materiais coletados após as sínteses foram caracterizados por difração de raios X (DRX), microscopia eletrônica de varredura de alta resolução (MEV-FEG), microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET), análise de área de superfície específica (BET), espectroscopia de absorção na região do ultravioleta e do visível (UV-Vis) e medidas elétricas em corrente contínua. Os resultados mostraram que o controle da atmosfera de síntese permite obter nanoestruturas de óxido de estanho com diferentes estados de oxidação (SnO, SnO2 e Sn3O4). Pelas análises por MEV-FEG foi possível observar que o material crescido na fase SnO é constituído por nanofitas e discos enquanto os materiais crescidos nas fases SnO2 e Sn3O4 são constituídos unicamente por nanofitas. As análises por MET mostraram que os materiais sintetizados são monocristalinos e não apresentam defeitos superficiais aparentes. A partir dos resultados das análises por BET, verificou-se que os materiais têm baixa área superficial devido à ausência de poros na superfície das nanoestruturas. Por meio dos espectros de UV-Vis foi observado que os materiais crescidos em diferentes fases apresentam valores distintos de bandgap. A caracterização elétrica dos materiais permitiu analisar o comportamento das nonoestruturas como sensor de NO2, H2 e CO e os resultados...
In recent years the interest in nanostructured materials has permited it to be an area of great scientific developments. The study of properties of these materials moving in leaps and bounds and results show that there are many advantages in using small-scale materials. In this study were synthesized tin oxide nanostructures by carbothermal reduction method to verify the behavior of these materials as a gas sensor. The materials collected after the synthesis were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), analysis of specific surface area (BET), ultraviolet and visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and dc electrical measurements. The results showed that by control synthesis atmosphere it is possible to obtain tin oxide nonomaterials with different oxidation states (SnO, SnO2 and Sn3O4). By FEG-SEM analysis it was observed that the material grown on SnO phase consists of nanoribbons and disks while the grown materials in SnO2 and Sn3O4 phases consist solely of nanoribbons. The TEM analysis showed that the materials synthesized are monocrystalline and show no apparent surface defects. From the results of analyzes by BET, it was found that the materials exhibit low values of surface area due to absence of porous on the surface of nanostructures. Through UV-Vis spectra was observed that the materials grown in different phases have different values of bandgap. The electrical characterization of materials enabled to analyze the behavior of the nanostructures as NO2, H2 and CO sensors and the results showed that all materials exhibit n-type semiconductor behavior and a sensitivity and response time dependent on the concentration of gas and temperature. The best results were achieved when the nanostructures (especially SnO disks) were exposed to NO2 at temperatures... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
