β¦ Synopsis
The use of SnO, sensors in selective alarm systems and gas measurement devices is complicated by the presence of significant cross-sensitivity to various gases, mainly alcohol vapours. This paper presents a simple approach employing analog electronic circuitry which allows the detection of methane above a threshold concentration (ZOOO-SOOLI ppm) in a domestic environment, while the interference of alcohol vapours is eliminated. The device uses two integrated semiconducting gas sensors and is based on a differential measurement of these two sensors.

Thick film H 2 sensors were fabricated using SnO 2 loaded with Ag 2 O and PdO x . The composition that gave highest sensitivity for H 2 was in the wt.% ratio of SnO 2 :Ag 2 O:PdO x as 93:5:2. The nano-crystalline powders of SnO 2 -Ag 2 O-PdO x composites synthesized by sol-gel method were screen pri
A new rapid detecting method (called dynamic measurements) was reported to detect and distinguish the presence of two pesticide gases in the ambient atmosphere. The method employed only a single SnO 2 -based gas sensor in a rectangular temperature mode to perform the qualitative analysis of a binary
