Abstract

Thick film alcohol gas sensors were fabricated. Their electrical properties and gas sensing characteristics were investigated. The sensitivity of $1wt.\%$ Pd-doped ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ thick film heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$, 2hrs was $74\%$ to 500ppm alcohol gas at the operating temperature of $250^{\circ}C$. The selectivity of the film to alcohol was good. It showed fast response time to low concentrations of alcohol in air, hence this sensor can be used as a breath sensor.
