The gas sensors were tested for sensing performance towards ethanol, acetone, benzene, and hydrogen at operating temperatures from 150 \u00b0C to 400 \u00b0C. Our experimental results show that higher selectivity and responses to hydrogen were achieved by the deposition of SiO2 on the surface of the sensors. The sensor with SiO2 deposited on its surface at 500 \u00b0C for 8 h exhibited the highest response (Ra\/Rg = 144) to 1000 ppm hydrogen at 350 \u00b0C, and the sensor with SiO2 deposited on its surface at 600 \u00b0C for 4 h attained the maximum response variation coefficient (D = 69.4) to 1000 ppm hydrogen at 200 \u00b0C. The mechanism underlying the improvement in sensitivity and the higher responses to hydrogen in the sensors with SiO2 on their surface is also discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19112478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,30]],"date-time":"2019-05-30T11:07:44Z","timestamp":1559214464000},"page":"2478","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["The Enhanced H2 Selectivity of SnO2 Gas Sensors with the Deposited SiO2 Filters on Surface of the Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Meng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Qinyi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Shunping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Ze","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5842","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijhydene.2017.10.101","article-title":"A renewable source based hydrogen energy system for residential applications","volume":"43","author":"Sorgulu","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int.
