The invention discloses a resistance type NO2 sensor based on a stannic
oxide modified
zinc oxide nanometer material, and a manufacture method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of gas sensors. The sensor is of a tubular structure and consists of an Al2O3
ceramic tube substrate, two parallel annular Au electrodes which are mutually discrete and are coated to the outer surface of the Al2O3
ceramic tube substrate, a stannic
oxide modified
zinc oxide nanometer material gas sensitive thin film coated to the outer surface of the Al2O3
ceramic tube and the annular Au electrodes, and a
nickel-
chromium alloy heating coil which penetrates through the inner part of the
nickel-
chromium. The stannic oxide modified
zinc oxide nanometer material of which the surface is functionalized has excellent gas sensitive characteristics, including high sensitivity and a high response
recovery rate, for NO2, and the problem that a pure-state zinc oxide gas sensor has poor sensitivity performance is solved. By use of the sensor, experiment parameters, including reaction temperatures, reaction time, the ratio of a reaction precursor and the like, can be controlled to indicate the regulation and control of the performance, including the composition, the structure and the like, of the functional zinc oxide material, and therefore, the performance of the sensor is improved.
