Fabrication and Characteristics of Sensing Materials for BaTiO3 Gas Sensors
ABSTRACT
The porous sensing materials for BaTiO$_3$ gas sensors were fabricated by adding the graphite powders. The crystalline structure and microstructure of the porous BaTiO$_3$-based ceramics were studied. All the sintered bodies showed a tetragonal perovskite structure. The porosity increased with increasing graphite contents. This is mainly due to an enhanced evolution of CO and $CO_2$ gases resulting from the exothermic reactions of graphite and oxygen during the sintering. It was found that the discrepancy in the resistivities measured in air and CO atmospheres at high temperatures (>∼20$0^{circ}C$) became remarkable with increasing temperature. The sensitivity of CO gas increased with porosity, since the reactions between CO gas and $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ and between CO gas and $O^{[-10]}$ are active due to the formation of many reaction sites. The porous BaTiO$_3$-based ceramics could be promising as a sensing material for CO gas sensors.
