T. Pagnier et al., In situ coupled Raman and impedance measurements of the reactivity of nanocrystalline SnO2 versus H2S, J SOL ST CH, 143(1), 1999, pp. 86-94
Nanocrystalline SnO2 produced in different ways has been subjected to H2S a
t 100 degrees C. The formation of SnSx was deduced from Raman spectra and c
orrelated with the changes in electrical resistance, When the initial resis
tance of the sample was high, adsorbed SO4 was observed. The agreement of t
hese results with available thermodynamic data and the actual theory of SnO
2 sensitivity to H2S is discussed. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
