【 摘 要 】
The precursors of SnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystlline powders have been prepared by the sol-precipitation method. The precursors were calcined at different temperatures to prepare SnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystalline powders with different particle sizes. The nanocrystallites were examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). And then thick film CO sensors were fabricated using prepared SnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystlline powders loaded with PdOx. The composition that gave the highest sensitivity for CO was in the weight% ratio of 5 wt.% In2O3/SnO2:PdOx as 99:1(wt %). The composite material was found sensitive against CO at the working temperature 200 °C. It was found that the sensors based on In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystalline system exhibited very short response time to CO at ppm level. These characteristics make the sensor to be a promising candidate for detecting low concentrations of CO.
