Abstract

In this work, SnO2 nanorod arrays have been deposited by inductively coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) without any high temperature treatment or additional catalysis. The SnO2 nanorods are connected at the root with a very thin seed layer on the substrate. The SnO2 nanorods have a spatial distribution density of 350 μm-2 and large surface area of around 108 m2/g. Pd was chemically modified on surface of the SnO2 nanorods by spin coating. The sensitivity of the SnO2 nanorod arrays increased around 4 times after doping with 1 layer of Pd, but decreased continuously with increasing Pd layers. The effect of the annealing temperature on the sensing properties was also studied and it was found that annealing at 500°C is enough to achieve better performance of the Pd-doped SnO2 nanorod array sensor.
