摘要
The effect of dispersant on deposition mechanism of TiO2 nanoparticles at 1 Hz under non-uniform AC fields was investigated. It was found that by adding Dolapix to suspension, deposition pattern is drastically changed enabling particles to enter the gap leaving the electrodes intact. Using low frequency AC electrophoretic deposition technique in the presence of dispersant, we succeeded in fabricating gas sensor in less than 2 min. Gas sensing measurements were performed in the temperature range of 450-550 degrees C. The results explained that the sensor has good stability in time and repeatability performance toward high response. The maximum sensitivity of about 180 for the TiO2 nanoparticles sensor is observed with 47 ppm NO2 gas and the response and recovery times is about 60-150 s. The optimum temperature of the gas sensor was obtained in 450 degrees C where sensor showed a linear trend up to 50 ppm of NO2 gas. This sensing behavior in un-doped TiO2 as NO2 sensor can be mainly ascribed to the porous structure of the sensing film and its good contacts to the substrate and electrode assembly.
