Oxygen adsorption on the surface of particles plays a key role in gas sensing for SnO2-based resistive-type gas sensors in a humid atmosphere. In this study, we added an extremely small amount of ZrO2on the SnO2surface to activate oxygen adsorption and enhance the sensor response of a SnO2-based gas sensor in a humid atmosphere. We evaluated the oxygen adsorption properties and sensor response to 200 ppm H2in a humid atmosphere (96%) based on variations in the measured electrical resistance. The adsorption of O−and O2−ions was activated by a small loading (0.033 mol%) of ZrO2, and the resulting ZrO2–SnO2composite nanoparticles were in the deep electron-depleted state. This led to a high sensor response of ZrO2–SnO2to H2in a humid atmosphere. The results demonstrate that surface modification using an extremely small amount of ZrO2was effective in improving the response of a SnO2-based gas sensor in a humid atmosphere.
