The invention discloses a
nitrogen dioxide gas sensor containing
petal-like SnSe2. The
nitrogen dioxide gas sensor comprises a gas sensitive material and a heating substrate, wherein the heating substrate is coated with the gas sensitive material, the
coating thickness ranges from 1-100 micrometers, and the gas sensitive material is prepared from a
petal-like SnSe2 nanomaterial. A preparation process includes the following steps: step 1, mixing 1.6-2.4 mL of C2H8N2 with 30.4-45.6 mL of (CH2OH)2, adding 361-541.6 mg of
stannous chloride dihydrate and 126.3-189.5 mg of
selenium powder, performing magnetic stirring for 20-30 minutes, pouring the mixture into a reaction kettle for 3-12 hours of reaction at the temperature of 165-180 DEG C, separating an obtained black product by a centrifugalmachine, repeatedly performing washing until the pH of waste liquid is 6.5-7.5, and
drying the waste liquid at the temperature of 80 DEG C for 6-12 hours to obtain the
petal-like SnSe2; step 2, preparing SnSe2 dispersion liquid; step 3,
coating the dispersion liquid onto the heating substrate, and
drying the heating substrate in a
drying box at the temperature of 80 DEG C to obtain the
nitrogen dioxide gas sensor. The
nitrogen dioxide gas sensor provided by the invention has the advantages of simple process step, low cost and sensitive response to
nitrogen dioxide.
