| Abstract: | "Semiconductor-type gas sensors, composed of metal-oxide semiconductors and porous zeolite materials, are attractive devices for bio-gas detection, particularly when used as bio-gas sensors such as electronic nose application. Previous studies have shown such detection can be obtained with a separate gas concentrator and a sensor device using zeolites and oxide semiconductors of WO(3) nanoparticles. By applying the gas concentrator, porous molecular structures alter both the gas sensitivity and the selectivity, and even can be used to define the sensor characteristics. Based on such a gas sensor design, we investigated the properties of an array of three sensors made of a layer of WO(3) nanoparticles coated with zeolites with different interactions between gas molecule adsorption and desorption. The array was tested with four volatile organic compounds, each measured at different concentrations. The results confirm that the features of individual zeolites combined with the hybrid gas sensor behavior, along with the differences among the sensors, are sufficient for enabling the discrimination of volatile compounds when disregarding their concentration" |
