In view of the low sensitivity, high operating temperature and poor selectivity of acetone measurements, in this paper much effort has been paid to improve the performance of acetone sensors from three aspects: increasing the surface area of the material, improving the surface activity and enhancing gas diffusion. A hierarchical flower-like Pt-doped (1 wt %) 3D porous SnO 2 (3DPS) material was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. The micropores of the material were constructed by subsequent annealing. The results of the experiments show that the 3DPS-based sensor's response is strongly dependent on temperature, exhibiting a mountain-like response curve. The maximum sensor sensitivity (R a /R g ) was found to be as high as 505.7 at a heating temperature of 153 °C and with an exposure to 100 ppm acetone. Additionally, at 153 °C, the sensor still had a response of 2.1 when exposed to 50 ppb acetone gas. The 3DPS-based sensor also has an excellent selectivity for acetone detection. The high sensitivity can be explained by the increase in the specific surface area brought about by the hierarchical flower-like structure, the enhanced surface activity of the noble metal nanoparticles, and the rapid diffusion of free-gas and adsorbed gas molecules caused by the multiple channels of the microporous structure.
