gas sensitive metal oxide layers used in fabrication of resistive gas sensors are prepared by different deposition techniques. the technical data reported on some basic and practically important specifications of these devices, although fabricated based on the same gas sensitive oxide, are anomalously different. the influence of the fabrication technique used for the deposition of the gas sensi...

The electrochemical sensor for detecting hydrogen sulfide was fabricated. H2S gas molecules pass through polytetrafluoroethylene membrane with 0.22 mm pore size. Carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used to fabricate working and counter electrodes. It can be seen from Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) images of the working electrode that...

in this study, a specific ch4 sensor is fabricated based on interdigitated electrode that modified with core-shell of tungsten carbide/tin oxide (wc/sno2) nanoparticles by wet chemical method in different percents of carbon and tungsten. the morphology of wet chemical-synthesized wc/sno2 core-shell was evaluated by different methods such as patterned x-ray diffraction (xrd), and particle size a...

zno and zno: mn nanocrystals were synthesized via reverse micelle method. the structural properties of nanocrystals were investigated by xrd. the xrd results indicated that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts on the tablet obtained from compressed nanocrystals powder and the installation ...

thin films of sno2 nanowires were successfully prepared by using chemical vapor deposition (cvd) process on quartz substrates. afterwards, a thin  layer of palladium (pd) as a catalyst was coated on top of nanowires. for the deposition of pd, a simple and low cost technique of spray pyrolysis was employed, which caused an intensive enhancement on the sensing response of fabricated sensors. prep...

we report the development of different types of oxygen sensors based on yittria-stabilized zirconia (ysz) as a solid electrolyte. the conventional oxygen sensor is a concentration cell with two porous pt electrodes, one of which is exposed to air as a constant (reference) oxygen concentration and the other is exposed to automobile exhaust gas of variable oxygen concentration, depending on the a...
