In4Sn3O12–TeO2 composite nanoparticles were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route.
The response of the In4Sn3O12–TeO2 composite sensor to CO was stronger than the pristine In4Sn3O12 sensor.
The response of the In4Sn3O12–TeO2 composite sensor to CO was faster than the pristine In4Sn3O12 sensor.
The improved sensing performance of the In4Sn3O12–TeO2 nanocomposite sensor is discussed in detail.
The In4Sn3O12-based nanoparticle sensors showed selectivity to CO over NH3, HCHO and H2.
