摘要
In this work we present preliminary results on the sensitivity to methane gas of zinc oxide thin films deposited by spray pyrolysis. It was found that using highly resistive (above 10(4) Omega cm) thin films and by performing the measurements at 200 degreesC a sensitivity better than one order of magnitude was found to detect 2000 ppm of methane. A linear dependence on the sensitivity between 100 and 2000 ppm of methane was also obtained. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
