Abstract
The detection of hexanal has attracted much attention because hexanal has an important effect on food quality and human health. In this paper, nano-SnO2 flat-type coplanar hexanal gas sensor arrays at the ppb level were fabricated by a screen-printing technique based on nano-SnO2 powders prepared by a sol-gel method. The test results show that the nano-SnO2 flat-type coplanar gas sensor arrays have good hexanal gas-sensing characteristics such as short response time, low detection limit, high sensitivity. Especially, the gas sensitivity of the nano-SnO2 gas sensor arrays to 50 ppb hexanal reached 9.5 at a working temperature of 200° C. Nanometer-size effects, lattice distortion of nano-SnO2, and the natural properties of hexanal caused the ppb-level hexanal gas-sensing characteristics.
Keywords: Flat-type coplanar gas sensor arrays, gas-sensing property, hexanal, nano-SnO2, ppb level.
