Trimodally porous SnO2 nanospheres with pore sizes of 3, 20 and 100 nm were prepared with facile one-pot spray pyrolysis and their potential for extremely sensitive ethanol detector was demonstrated. The precise control over, as well as the tuning of, multimodal pores in metal oxide nanostructures provides a new and general strategy for enhancing the performance of nanomaterials for various energy and environmental applications.
