Highly selective sub–10 ppm H2S gas sensors based on Ag-doped CaCu3Ti4O12 films

The detection of the toxic H2S gas is of great practical, environmental and industrial interest. This work presents sensing devices fabricated with Ag-doped CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) thin films using a cost effective sol-gel deposition method. When compared with undoped CCTO sensors, very low doping levels...

description The detection of the toxic H2S gas is of great practical, environmental and industrial interest. This work presents sensing devices fabricated with Ag-doped CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) thin films using a cost effective sol-gel deposition method. When compared with undoped CCTO sensors, very low doping levels of Ag cause a dramatic improvement of the response towards H2S gas. The Ag-doped CCTO films were found to be remarkable sensors towards H2S in the concentration range of 0.2–10 ppm. In addition, the response of these sensors towards NH3, H2, NO2 and ethanol vapor was up to two orders of magnitude lower than that for H2S, yielding a highly selective mean of detecting and quantifying H2S.
