Hydrogen Properties of Lithium Doped Stannic Oxide Thick Film Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

Gas response properties of lithium doped (1%~8%) SnO2 sensing films were investigated when exposed to hydrogen gas. Sensors were prepared by thick film technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the crystal structure and grain size of the prepared materials. The gas response properties indicated that the response time reduces obviously with the Li-doping. It was found that 4 mol% Li-doped sensing film exhibits the best response characteristics. The response mechanism was suggested to arise from the conduction holes ionized by Li and the surface potential barrier change in target gas.
