摘要
Zeolite A (LTA)-coatecl micromachined sensors have been prepared and used in the sensing of individual gases (H-2, CH4, C2H5OH, C3H8 and CO, in the 10-1000 ppm range) and gas mixtures. Unlike previous Works with conventional sensors, a hydrothermal synthesis was not Used to prepare a zeolite film. Instead, a zeolite coating was formed on top of the Pd/SnO2 surface by microdropping from a zeolite suspension. In spite of this, the response of the sensor with zeolite is significantly different from that of unmodified sensors, and essentially reproduces the performance of zeolite-coated conventional sensors. By avoiding the use of a hydrothermal synthesis the integrity of the sensor is better preserved, and the resulting non-continuous zeolite film has the added advantage of a strong reduction in response times.
