$Au@TiO_2$ core-shell decorated rGO nanocomposite (NC) was prepared using a simple solvothermal method followed by heat treatment for gas sensor application. The crystal structure and morphology of the composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The $NO_2$ sensing response of the $Au@TiO_2/rGO$ NC was tested at operating temperatures from $250^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$, and was compared with those of the bare rGO and $Au@TiO_2$ core-shell NPs. The $Au@TiO_2/rGO$ NC-based sensor showed a far higher response than the rGO or $Au@TiO_2$ core-shell based sensors, with the maximum response detected when the operating temperature was $400^{\circ}C$. This improved response was due to the high rGO gas absorption capability for $NO_2$ gas and the catalytic effect of $Au@TiO_2$ core-shell NPs in oxidizing $NO_2$ to $NO_3$.

We have proposed and demonstrated an gas-flow sensor using optical fiber bragg grating(FEG). The flow sensor has no electronics and no mechanical parts in its sensing part and the structure is th11s simple and immune to electromagnetic interference(EMI). The FEG sensor was consisted qf the sensing element and a coil heater. The metal coil was used to supply the current to the FEG. While some currents supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FEG under the coil is changed and thus the wavelength shift of fiber optic sensor was induced In this work, the wavelength shift according to flow-rate was experimentally studied and was used to evaluate the gas flow-rate in a gas tube. As a result, it was possible to measure the flow-rate in a linear range from 5 to $20{\ell}/min$ with a resolution of approximately $1{\ell}/min$ at the applied currents of 100 mA and 120 mA. The measured sensitivities were $15.3\;pm/\ell/min$ for 100 mA and $20.2\;pm/\ell/min$ for 120 mA.

We report the synthesis and gas sensing properties of bare and ZnO decorated TeO₂ nanowires (NWs). A catalyst assisted-vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth method was used to synthesize TeO₂ NWs and ZnO decoration was performed using an Au-catalyst assisted-VLS growth method followed by a subsequent heat treatment. Structural and morphological analyses using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning/transmission electron microscopies, respectively, demonstrated the formation of bare and ZnO decorated TeO₂ NWs with desired phase and morphology. NO₂ gas sensing studies were performed at different temperatures ranging from 50 to 400 ℃ towards 50 ppm NO₂ gas. The results obtained showed that both sensors had their best optimal sensing temperature at 350 ℃, while ZnO decorated TeO₂ NWs sensor showed much better sensitivity towards NO₂ relative to a bare TeO₂ NWs gas sensor. The reason for the enhanced sensing performance of the ZnO decorated TeO₂ NWs sensor was attributed to the formation of ZnO (n)/ TeO₂ (p) heterojunctions and the high intrinsic gas sensing properties of ZnO.

입자들이 용액에 녹아있을 때 pH에 따라서 다른 zeta-potential을 가지게 되며, 이것은 입자의 분산상태에 영향을 주게 된다. NO 센서에서 $WO_3$ 입자의 크기는 감도에 큰 영향을 끼치므로 Sol-Coprecipitation법에 의한 $WO_3$ 센서 제조 시에 $WO_3$ precursor 상태에서의 pH의 영향을 알아보았다. 먼저 $WO_3$ precursor의 전기적 포텐셜을 측정하여 pH가 2에서 7로 변함에 따라 mobility가 증가하여 7일 때에 가장 큰 분산도를 가진 것을 알 수 있었고, 이는 powder 제조 후 입도 분석, 감지막의 XRD peak, 표면사진으로부터 확인 할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 감도 특성에도 영향을 끼쳐 pH=7에서 제조한 센서가 다른 pH에서 제조한 센서보다 감도가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Pt-WO$_3$-Si$_3$N$_4$-SiO$_2$-Si-Al 캐패시터를 이용한 NO$_2$ 가스 센서를 개발하였다. 표준 실리콘 MNOS구조에 촉매 게이트로 Pt와 가스 흡착층으로 WO$_3$를 이용함으로서 전통적인 세라믹 가스 센서보다 낮은 온도에서 NO$_2$ 가스를 감지할 수 있었다. 은도 변화와 NO$_2$ 가스 농도의 변화에 따라서 디바이스의 NO$_2$ 가스 감도를 조사하였다. Pt-WO$_3$ 계면에서 NO$_2$ 이온농도의 변화에 기초로 한 가스 감지 모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 가스 감지 모델을 계면에서의 가스 반응 속도론에 의하여 분석함으로서 확인하였다.

In order to apply WO3 thin films to the semiconducting NOx gas sensors as a sensing material, which have been expected to show good electrical properties, such as large sensitivity, rapid responsibility, and high selectivity, the fabrication method and their sensing characteristics were studied. The variations of surface morphologies, crystallographic orientations and crystallinity with the WO3 thin film growing methods thermal evaporation and DC sputtering methods were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. As a result of sensitivity (Rgas/Rair) measurements for the 5 ppm NO2 test gas, the sensitivity values were 113 for the sputtered films and 93 for the evaporated films. It was also observed that the recovery rate of a sensing signal after measuring sensitivity was faster in the sputtered films than in the evaporated films.

A low power (300 mW) catalytic bead combustible gas sensor is developed and utilized with a computer controlled sampling system for measuring heat content of natural gas. The heat content of gas is proportional to the change in the energy required to exposure to the sample of combustible gas. The heat content of natural gas samples ranging 36.30 - 39.88 MJ/$m^3$ is measured in the range of approximately $1\%$ error, which is comparable to its nominal heat content. Each gas has a slightly different curve of sensitivity vs. sensor temperature. Thus there Is no temperature at which all sensitivities are equal. In calibration process the choice of a optimum operating temperature is an important factor that influences the overall performance of the measurement system.

W $O_{x}$-based semiconductor type thin film gas sensor was fabricated for the detection of N $O_{x}$ by reactive d.c. sputtering method. The relative oxidation state of the deposited W $O_{x}$ films was approximately compared by the calculation of the difference of the binding energy between Ols to W4 $f_{7}$2/ core level XPS spectra in the standard W $O_3$ powder of known composition. As the annealing temperature increased from 500 to 80$0^{\circ}C$, relative oxygen contents and grain size of the sputtered films were gradually increased. As the results of sensitivity ( $R_{gas}$/ $R_{air}$) measurements for the 5 ppm N $O_2$ gas, the sensitivity was 110 and the sensor showed recovery time as fast as 200 s. The other sensor properties were examined in terms of surface microstructure, annealing temperature, and relative oxygen contents. These results indicated that the W $O_3$ thin film with well controlled structure is a good candidate for monitoring and controlling of automobile exhaust.haust.t.t.t.

멜라민 스펀지를 열처리하여 제조된 질소함유 탄소 스펀지에 산화구리(CuO)를 무전해 도금하여 기판없이 작동하는 일산화질소(NO) 가스 센서를 제조하였다. 탄소 스펀지 표면의 CuO 함량은 도금 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, NO 가스 흡착을 유도한다고 알려져 있는 질소의 함량은 CuO 표면 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 미처리 탄소스펀지는 NO 가스에 대하여 18 min에 최대 저항 변화(5.0%)를 나타내었다. 반면에, CuO가 도금된 샘플(CuO30s-CS)은 8 min만에 최대 18.3%의 저항변화를 보였다. 이러한 NO 가스 감지 능력 향상은 CuO로 인하여 탄소 스펀지의 정공 캐리어 수 증가 및 전자전달 촉진에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나, 60 s 동안 CuO 무전해 도금된 탄소 스펀지의 NO가스 감지 저항은 1.9%로 오히려 감소하였다. 이는 탄소 스펀지 표면에 CuO로 완전히 도금되어 NO 가스 흡착 능력이 떨어져 저항변화가 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, CuO가 도금된 탄소 스펀지는 빠르고 우수한 저항변화 특성을 가지고 있어 유용한 NO 가스 센서로 사용할 수 있으나, CuO가 탄소 스펀지 표면을 완전히 도금해서는 안 된다.
