$TiO_2$ oxide semiconductor is being widely studied in various applications such as photocatalyst and photosensor. Pd/$TiO_2$ gas sensor is mainly used to detect $H_2$, CO and ethanol. This study focus on increasing hydrogen detection ability of Pd/$TiO_2$ in room temperature through Al-doping. Pd/$TiO_2$ was fabricated by the hydrothermal method. Contacting to Aluminum (Al) foil led to Al doping effect in Pd/$TiO_2$ by thermal diffusion and enhanced hydrogen sensing response. $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were sized at ~30 nm of diameter from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and maintained anatase crystal structure after Al doping from X-ray diffraction analysis. Presence of Al in $TiO_2$ was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at 73 eV. SEM-energy dispersive spectroscopy measurement also confirmed 2 wt% Al in Pd/$TiO_2$ bulk. The gas sensing test was performed with $O_2$, $N_2$ and $H_2$ gas ambient. Pd/Al-doped $TiO_2$ did not response $O_2$ and $N_2$ gas in vacuum except $H_2$. Finally, the normalized resistance ratio ($R_{H2on}/R_{H2off}$) of Pd/Al-doped $TiO_2$ increases about 80% compared to Pd/$TiO_2$.

산업의 발달과 더불어 CO, $H_2$S, S $O_2$등에 의한 대기오염이 심각해져 가스중독의 위험성이 고조되었을 뿐만 아니라, 생활수준의 향상으로 부탄(C$_4$ $H_{10}$)이나 프로판(C$_3$ $H_{8}$) 등의 폭발성 탄화수소계 가스들의 수요가 급증하는 가운데 가스폭발의 위험성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 대한 방비책으로 고감도 가스센서의 개발 뿐만 아니라 가스센서를 응용한 가스검출 및 가스식별 시스템의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 반도체식 가스센서의 선택도에 대한 문제점을 개선하는 동시에 단일 센서신호의 드리프트에 대한 영향을 최소화하기 위해 반도체식 가스센서 어레이를 구성하고, 이로부터 검지된 가스별 입력 패턴데이터를 신경 회로망(neural network)에 적용함으로써 가스의 종류를 선택적으로 인식할 수 있는 가스인식 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.다.

$Zn_{1-x}Co_x$ Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8(ZIF)(x = 0~0.05)를 2-methylimidazole을 사용하여 $Zn^{2+}$와 $Co^{2+}$를 공침시켜 합성하고, 이를 $600^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 열처리하여 순수한 ZnO 나노입자와 Co가 도핑된 ZnO 나노입자를 합성했다. x가 < 0.05일 경우, 2-methylimidazole 링커가 $Zn^{2+}$ 및 $Co^{2+}$ 모두에 강하게 배향되어 균질한 Zn/Co ZIFs가 합성되었으며, 열처리를 통해 Co가 균일하게 도핑된 ZnO를 합성할 수 있었다. 반면, $x{\geq}0.05$일 때는 불균질한 Zn/Co ZIFs가 합성되었으며, 열처리 이후 $Co_3O_4$ 이차상이 형성되었다. 합성된 나노입자들에 대한 가스감응특성 평가 결과, 3 at%의 Co가 도핑된 ZnO 센서는 순수한 ZnO와는 달리 trimethylamine에 대해 고감도, 고선택적 가스감응특성을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 bimetallic ZIF 유도 산화물 나노복합체 합성방법은 고성능 가스센서를 설계하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In order to promote CO gas sensitivity, $SnO_2$ added ZnO prepared. The electrical conductivities and dielectric constants decreased by increasing $SnO_2$ content in air. The electrical conductivities in 1000ppm CO atmosphere were larger than in dry air. The measured CO sensitivities were $1{\sim}15.2$ at $100^{\circ}C{\sim}480^{\circ}C$. The maximum CO sensitivity of 15mol% $SnO_2$ added ZnO was 15.2 at $305^{\circ}C$.

The Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument is an eight-channel gas correlation radiometer that launched on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra spacecraft in 1999. Its main objectives are to measure carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) concentrations in the troposphere. This study analyzes tropospheric carbon monoxide distributions using MOPITT data and compare with ozone distributions in Northeast Asia. In general, seasonal CO variations are characterized by a peak in spring and decrease in summer. Also, this study revealed that the seasonal cycles of CO are maximum in spring and minimum in summer with average concentrations ranging from 118ppbv to 170ppbv. The monthly average of CO shows a similar profile to those of O3. This fact clearly indicates that the high concentration of CO in spring is caused by two possible causes: the photochemical CO production in the troposphere, or the transport of the CO in the northeast Asia. The CO and $O_3$ seasonal cycles in the Northeast Asia are influenced extensively by the seasonal exchange of the different types of air mass due to the Asian monsoon. The continental air masses contain high concentrations of $O_3$ and CO due to higher continental background concentrations and sometimes due to the contribution of regional pollution. In summer the transport pattern is reversed. The Pacific marine air masses prevail over Korea, so that the marine air masses bring low concentrations of CO and $O_3$, which tend to give the apparent minimum in summer.

Fabrication of iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures for detection of ammonia gas at room temperature is reported. The iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures are fabricated by in situ co-arc-discharge method using a graphite source with varying numbers of iron wires inserted. The composite structures reveal higher response signals at room temperature than at high temperatures. As the number of iron wires inserted increased, the volume of carbon nanotubes and iron nanoparticles produced increased. The oxidation condition of the composite structures varied the carbon nanotube/iron oxide ratio in the structure and, consequently, the resistance of the structures and, finally, the ammonia gas sensing performance. The highest sensor performance was realized with $500^{\circ}C/2h$ oxidation heat-treatment condition, in which most of the carbon nanotubes were removed from the composite and iron oxide played the main role of ammonia sensing. The response signal level was 62% at room temperature. We also found that UV irradiation enhances the sensing response with reduced recovery time.

A cobalt oxide - tin oxide nanocomposite based gas sensor on an $SiO_2$ substrate was fabricated. Granular thin film of tin oxide was formed by a rheotaxial growth and thermal oxidation method using dc magnetron sputtering of Sn. Nano particles of cobalt oxide were spin-coated on the tin oxide. The cobalt oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by polymer-assisted deposition method, which is a simple cost-effective versatile synthesis method for various metal oxides. The thickness of the film can be controlled over a wide range of thicknesses. The composite structures thus formed were characterized in terms of morphology and gas sensing properties for reduction gas of $H_2$. The composites showed a highest response of 240% at $250^{\circ}C$ upon exposure to 4% $H_2$. This response is higher than those observed in pure $SnO_2$ (90%) and $Co_3O_4$ (70%) thin films. The improved response with the composite structure may be related to the additional formation of electrically active defects at the interfaces. The composite sensor shows a very fast response and good reproducibility.

In this work, Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films for toxic gas sensor application were deposited on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates, by RF magnetron sputtering method. LTCC is one of promising materials for integration with heater, low cost production and high manufacturing yields than silicon substrate. The LTCC substrates with thickness of $400\;{\mu}m$ were fabricated by laminating 12 greentapes which consist of alumina and glass particle in an organic binder. The GZO thin films deposited on the substrates and were analyzed by X-ray diffraction method (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The films are well crystallized in the hexagonal (wurzite) structure with increasing thickness. The fabricated sensors showed good sensitivity and fast response time to common types of toxic gases (NOx, COx).

The modification of a gas diffusion layer (GDL), a vital component in polymer electrolyte fuel cells, is described here for use in the electrochemical detection of antibody-antigen biosensors. Compared to other substrates (gold foil and graphite), mouse anti-rHBsAg monoclonal antibody immobilized on gold-coated GDL (G-GDL) detected analytes of goat anti-mouse IgG antibody-ALP using a relatively low potential (-0.0021 V vs. Ag/AgCl 3 M NaCl), indicating that undesired by-reactions during electrochemical sensing should be avoided with G-GDL. The dependency of the signal against the concentration of analytes was observed, demonstrating the possibility of quantitative electrochemical biosensors based on G-GDL substrates. When a sandwich method was employed, target antigens of rHBsAg with a concentration as low as 500 ng/mL were clearly measured. The detection limit of rHBsAg was significantly improved to 10 ng/mL when higher concentrations of the 4-aminophenylphosphate monosodium salt (APP) acting on substrates were used for generating a redox-active product. Additionally, it was shown that a BSA blocking layer was essential in improving the detection limit in the G-GDL biosensor.
