Abstract

In this study, nanopower ZnO and $SnO_2$ as sensing materials were prepared by hydrazine and hydrothermal routes, respectively, and were doped with Pd, Ru catalyst. The CO and $NO_2$ sensors were fabricated by coating of sensing materials on the MEMS-based structure with electrodes and heaters. The 0.1 wt% Pd doped $SnO_2$ sensor and Ru doped ZnO sensor showed the high sensor response to CO 30 ppm and $NO_2$ 1 ppm, respectively. The sensor signal was stable. This can be used for the detection of pollutant gases emitted from gasoline engine.

본 연구에서는 졸겔법으로 ZnO, 수열합성법으로 $SnO_2$ 나노분말을 제조하고 이들 나노분말에 Pd, Ru 등의 촉매를 첨가하였다. MEMS 기술로 제작된 히터 및 전극 구조 위에 나노 감지 분말을 도포하여 CO and $NO_2$ 가스 센서를 제작하였다. 0.1 wt% Pd 도핑된 $SnO_2$ 가스센서와 Ru 도핑된 ZnO 가스 센서는 각각 CO 30 ppm, $NO_2$ 1 ppm의 낮은 농도에서도 높은 감지 특성을 보였다.
