摘要
The thick-film semiconductor sensor for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) detection was fabricated using a mixed WO3-based sensor. We present the characterization of both their structural properties by means of XRD measurements and the electrical characteristics by using gas-sensing properties. The sensing characteristics such as sensitivity, working range, cross-sensitivity and response time were studied by using nanosized WO3-based mixed with different metal oxides (SnO2, TiO2 and In2O3) and doped with noble metals (Au, Pd and Pt). The WO3-based mixed with 5 wt.% In2O3 and 0.5 wt.% Pd showed the higher sensing characteristic at low concentration of LPG sensor at an operating temperature 225 degrees C.
