Thin nanocomposite films composed of ZnO and SnO2 at 0.5–5 mol.% concentrations were synthesized by a new solid-phase low-temperature pyrolysis under the developed protocols. This hetero-oxide material was thoroughly studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) techniques to be compared with electrical and gas-sensing properties. We have found that the films have a poly-nanocrystal structure of ZnO and SnO2 crystals with characteristic grain sizes at 10–15 nm range. When comparing the chemiresistive response of the films with varied tin dioxide content, the sample of Sn:Zn optimum ratio taken as 1:99 yields 1.5-fold improvement upon to 5–50 ppm NO2 exposure at 200 °C. We argue that these remarkable changes have matured from both a reducing the intergrain potential barrier down to 0.58 eV and increasing the concentration of anionic vacancies at this rational composite. The results demonstrate that solid-phase low-temperature pyrolysis is a powerful technique for adjusting the functional gas-sensing properties of hetero-oxide film via modifying the ratio of the oxide components.
