A highly sensitive and selective gas sensor towards triethylamine (TEA) has been successfully fabricated by designing n–n heterojunctions consisting of SnO2nanosheets and TiO2nanoparticles. The SnO2nanosheets with the thickness about 15 nm were directly grown on Al2O3ceramic tubes by a simple hydrothermal process. After the formation of n–n heterojunctions by employing PLD method, the TiO2nanoparticle/SnO2nanosheets heterojunctions exhibit high sensing properties to TEA gas. The as-prepared ST3 (SnO2/TiO23000) sensor response could reach to 52.3 at relatively low temperature (260 °C) when exposed to 100 ppm TEA gas, which is much higher than that of pure SnO2nanosheet sensor (∼3@100 ppm TEA@320 °C). Compared with the pure SnO2nanosheet sensor (S sensor), the depletion layer formed at the n–n heterojunctions interface in TiO2/SnO2sensor can greatly increase the resistance in air and decrease the resistance in TEA gas. Due to the general working principle and controllable growth strategy, this work provides a way for developing the chemiresistive gas sensors.
