Improvement of the Sensitivity of ZnGa_2O_4 Gas Sensors by Electron Beam Irradiation

In the present paper,the electron beam irradiation was used to improve gas sensing properties of ZnGa_2O_4 gas sensors.The effects of electron beam irradiation on the performance of ZnGa_2O_4 gas sensors were reported.Results show that the sensitivity of ZnGa_2O_4 gas sensors to various gases increased after electron beam irradiation,and the optimal working temperature decreased.The effect of irradiation dose and the reaction mechanism were discussed.

Electron beam evaporated gold doped tungsten oxide nanostructured films for sensor applications

Gas sensors play a vital role in monitoring environmental pollution for human health,safety,and the detection of various gasses in the environment.Nanostructured metal oxide thin films have been widely used in sensor applications owing to their unique properties.In this study,pure and gold(Au)doped nanostructured tungsten trioxide(WO_(3))films were deposited on glass substrates by electron beam evaporation at room temperature.The microstructure of the WO_(3) films changed from nanoflakes to nanorods upon variation of the wt%of Au.The sensing properties of WO_(3) based nanostructure films were measured using a computer-controlled system.The gas sensing results showed that the Au-doped WO_(3) films exhibited a higher sensitivity than the undoped films.The 15 wt%Au-doped WO_(3) nanostructure films showed high sensitivity towards ethanol and the response(sensitivity)value was 89.The response and recovery times for 15 wt%Au-doped WO_(3) were 8 and 10 s,respectively.
