摘要
A CO2 sensor based on a composite thin film of emeraldine base polyaniline and poly (vinyl alcohol) cast from N-methyl pyrrolidone on an interdigitated electrode was characterized using impedance spectroscopy. The response of the sensor was slow and smaller in magnitude as compared to reports in the literature for similar sensors. Materials characterization indicated that the desired emeraldine base phase was not present after beat treatment. In addition, the mechanism for carbon dioxide detection previously reported in the literature cannot explain the CO2 sensitivity, because the pH established between CO2 and carbonic acid in the water dissolved in the poly (vinyl alcohol) matrix is not sufficient to induce a significant change in the conductivity of the emeraldine base polyaniline.
