Abstract: Cr doped tin oxide (CTO) thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis technique (SPT). The hollow microspheres with a high Cr incorporation (10 at. %) was found to posses excellent sensitivity, selectivity and rapid response to the presence of ethanol vapors at low temperature. X-ray diffraction, UV, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis were carried out to investigate the gas sensing mechanism. The optical study showed that the films have a band gap of 3.54 eV.
Keywords: Cr doped tin oxide, Thin films, Spray pyrolysis, Sensing mechanism
