Ov. Safonova et al., EFFECT OF DOPING METALS ON THE KINETICS OF INTERACTION OF SNO2 THIN-FILMS WITH OXYGEN, Journal of materials chemistry (Print), 8(7), 1998, pp. 1577-1581
The effect of changing the doping metal (M = Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt) on the ki
netics of oxygen exchange reactions of polycrystalline SnO2 thin films
with gaseous oxygen was studied in situ by conductance measurements.
It was found that preliminary annealing of SnO2-based materials in ine
rt (N-2) and active (100 ppm H2S in N-2) atmospheres affects the kinet
ics of their reaction with oxygen. Two kinetic models describing the i
nteractions of semiconducting porous materials with gases, i.e., diffu
sion and surface chemical reactions, are considered.
