摘要
A low temperature nano-structured Strontium Titanate (SrTiO3) thick film oxygen gas sensors were obtained by high-energy ball milling technique and thick-film screen-printing technique. SrTiO3 nano-sized powders of around 20 nm were produced from commercial SrTiO3 and synthesized SrTiO3. The material micro-structural properties and sensor oxygen sensing properties were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and gas sensing measurements respectively. Experimental results show that the sensing property of the synthesized SrTiO3 sensors with an annealing temperature of 400degreesC is much better than the commercial SrTiO3 sensors (both milled and not milled materials). Especially, their optimal operating temperature of around 40degreesC is the lowest reported value for such metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors ever achieved.
