摘要
The gas sensing behavior of praseodymium doped cerium oxide (PrxCe1-xO2 or PCO) has been examined for 0-1000 ppm CO or H-2 in a 10% O-2 atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 250-350degreesC. Total conductivity as a function of temperature suggests that oxygen diffusion kinetics are slow below approximately 350degreesC. Devices with x = 0.05 and 0.10 show stable, n-type gas sensing response, while those with x = 0.20 exhibit significant drift in sensor output, presumably due to bulk oxygen migration. The response to CO is significantly stronger than that to H-2 at 300degreesC, and at 350degreesC the response to H-2 is nearly zero, resulting in a CO-selective gas sensing element. Suggestions for the source of selectivity in PCO are presented.
