Abstract Mn and Ni oxides incorporated tin oxide films, prepared by a spray pyrolysis technique and treated in hydrogen atmospheres, were characterized by conversion electron Mössbauer spectrometry and electron spin resonance to study the gas-sensing mechanism of tin oxides by the addition of metal oxides. Although the chemical state of Sn in undoped tin oxide film did not change after treatment with 5% H2 at 400°C, the reduced Sn species was detected in the tin oxide films doped with Pd. In Sn-Mn oxide films with the addition of Pd, the chemical state of Sn did not change, but the state of Mn changed on exposure to H2. In Sn-Ni oxide films with and without Pd, the chemical states of Sn and Ni were strongly affected by H2. A mechanism of hydrogen spillover effect on the tin oxide films is discussed.
