One-dimensional alkaline-earth metals composited SnO2(Ae/SnO2) nanofibres were fabricated via electrospinning technique, followed by thermal treatment at 600 °C for 5 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies showed that the nanoparticles size of Ae/SnO2was 5–7 nm, which was smaller than the pristine SnO2nanorods attached by 20 nm nanoparticles. Moreover, Sr/SnO2nanocomposites showed uniform nanotubes structure with the wall thickness of about 30 nm, in which all the nanoparticles were connected to their neighbors by necks. The Sr/SnO2nanotubes exhibited an excellent sensing response toward NH3gas at room temperature, lower detection limit (10 ppm), faster response time (6 s towards 2000 ppm∼16 s towards 10 ppm) and better reversibility compared to the pristine SnO2nanorods. The enhanced sensor performances were attributed to the higher conductivity of the Sr/SnO2. Mott–Schottky plots (M–S) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements indicated that the carrier density of Sr/SnO2nanotubes was 3 fold of that pristine SnO2.
