Abstract

The porous Pd-loaded In₂O₃ hollow spheres were successfully prepared by simple one-step method with the template of carbon spheres. The effect of calcination temperatures on morphology, composition and gas sensing performance of the as-obtained products was discussed by a series of test methods. The sample calcined at 550^∘C showed uniform porous hollow spheres with an average diameter of 100nm. Gas-sensing results exhibited that the Pd-In₂O₃ hollow spheres-based sensor possessed excellent sensing properties to formaldehyde, which include high response value (33), low working temperature (180^∘C) and fast response and recovery time (12s and 22s). The enhanced HCHO-sensing properties of Pd-In₂O₃ composites were attributed to the special porous and hollow structure, abundant oxygen vacancies and the catalysis of palladium. Pd-loaded In₂O₃ hollow spheres had been proved to be an ideal material for detecting HCHO at a low working temperature.
