Fully inkjet printed SnO2 gas sensor on plastic substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tin dioxide (SnO2) sensor was fabricated by inkjet printing onto polyimide foil. Gold electrodes and heater were printed on each side of the substrate. A SnO2 based ink was developed by sol-gel method and jetted onto the electrodes. A final annealing at 400°C compatible with the polymeric transducers allowed to synthetize the SnO2 sensing film. Electrical measurements were carried out to characterize the response of the fully printed sensors under oxidizing and reducing gases. The device was heated up at a temperature between 200 and 300°C using the integrated heater. The proper operation of the full printed metal-oxide gas sensors was validated under exposure to carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, in dry and wet air.

Highly sensitive SnO2 sensor via reactive laser-induced transfer
Gas sensors based on tin oxide (SnO2) and palladium doped SnO2 (Pd:SnO2) active materials are fabricated by a laser printing method, i.e. reactive laser-induced forward transfer (rLIFT). Thin films from tin based metal-complex precursors are prepared by spin coating and then laser transferred with high resolution onto sensor structures. The devices fabricated by rLIFT exhibit low ppm sensitivit...
