Zeolite-modified microcantilever gas sensor for indoor air quality control
نویسندگان
چکیده
To control indoor air quality, a novel freon gas sensor of piezoelectric microcantilever coated with zeolite has been developed in this paper. Excited by an ac voltage, the microcantilever is employed to detect the concentration of sample freon-12 gas ranged from 0 to 100 ppm by the effect of the specific MFI zeolite modification. High selectivity and sensitivity combined with excellent repeatable and reversible performances are shown. The relationship between the frequency shift in percent and the concentration of freon gas is linear. The minimum mass changing of 3.5 × 10−9 g and the sensitivity of −0.0024%/ppm are determined from the experimental results. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Hydrocarbon Detection with Metal Oxide Semiconducting Gas Sensors Modified by Overlayer or Admixture of Zeolites Na - A , H - Y and H - ZSM - 5
A control thick-film SnO2 gas sensor was modified with zeolites holding LTA, FAU and MFI frameworks using two different approaches to integrate them into the gas-sensing interface. The objective was to prompt selectivity and sensitivity enhancements that were otherwise unattained with the unmodified material when detecting a range of hydrocarbon vapours with similar molecular structures and kin...

In order to improve the sensing properties of tin dioxide gas sensor, four kinds of different SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio, different particle size of MFI type zeolites (ZSM-5) were coated on the SnO₂ to prepared zeolite modified gas sensors, and the gas sensing properties were tested. The measurement results showed that the response values of ZSM-5 zeolite (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 70, grain size 300 nm) coated SnO₂ ...
