Decorating semiconductor metal oxides (SMOs) with noble metals particles has been proved to be effective method to enhance their gas-sensing performance. However, the issue of noble metal particles aggregation might affect the sensitivity and stability of the material. Herein, a strategy is proposed for the construction of noble metals particles decorated SMOs featuring optimized gas sensing performance through the derivation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). By utilizing Sn/Zn-ZIF-8 framework as precursor to encapsulate Pt nanoparticles (NPs) followed by calcination, a core-shell structure of SnO₂-ZnO encapsulated with Pt NPs (Pt@SnO₂-ZnO) was successfully constructed. The Sn/Zn-ZIF-8 framework structure prevents the aggregation of Pt NPs, which facilitates the adsorption and dissociation of oxygen and methanol molecules. Thereby the Pt@SnO₂-ZnO based gas sensor exhibited significantly enhanced response (73.6) towards 10 ppm methanol at 320 ℃ and exceptionally low theoretical detection limit (0.18 ppb), providing an effective approach for the modification of SMOs-based gas-sensing materials.
