摘要
A set of sensors based on nanostructured single and mixed metal oxides has been prepared and employed in acetaldehyde detection within 0.1-10 ppm, this range being useful for many applications. Electrical characterization has been performed in laboratory at several working temperatures, in order to obtain the optimal operating condition. ZnO working within 450-550 degrees C, was found to best respond to acetaldehyde. The response vs. concentration curves for all the sensors was a power law with an exponent of 0.5, compatible with the oxidation of acetaldehyde catalyzed by the surface. A decay in the sensor response to acetaldehyde due to humidity was observed and discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
