Received: 9 June 2010; in revised form: 16 July 2010 / Accepted: 19 July 2010 / Published: 21 July 2010 Abstract: The current work presents the results of an experimental study of the effects of the location of gold additives on the performance of combustion-generated tin dioxide (SnO ) nanopowders in solid state gas sensors. The time response and sensor response 2 to 500 ppm carbon monoxide is reported for a range of gold additive/SnO2 film architectures including the use of colloidal, sputtered, and combustion-generated Au additives. The opportunities afforded by combustion synthesis to affect the SnO /additive 2 morphology are demonstrated. The best sensor performance in terms of sensor response (S) an
