Abstract: | "Metal oxide thin films such as copper oxide, titanium dioxide, and tin dioxide deposited by magnetron sputtering technology were verified as a gas-sensitive layer in microwave-based gas sensors operated at 2.4 GHz. The developed gas sensors were tested at room temperature (23 degrees C) and 50% relative humidity (RH) under exposure to 0(-)200 ppm of selected volatile organic compounds (acetone, ethanol, and methanol) that are of high interest in industry and biomedical applications. The highest responses to acetone were obtained for CuO-based gas sensors, to ethanol for SnO(2)-based gas sensors, while for methanol detection both dioxides, SnO(2) and TiO(2), exhibited good sensitivity" |
