Preparation method of ethanol gas sensor component having ultrafast response recovery property

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of an ethanol gas sensor component having an ultrafast response recovery property. In the preparation method, LaFexO3 nano particles in non-stoichiometric ratio prepared through a sol-gel method are employed as a working substance to prepare a beside-heating-type ceramic tube gas sensor component. By means of reduction of a relative element ratio of iron to lanthanum in a precursor, the carrier concentration is increased and the resistance of the component is reduced. By means of selection of a proper La/Fe element ratio, size of crystal grains is reduced and oxygen adsorption capacity is improved, so that the gas sensor is improved in sensitivity on ethanol, is reduced in working temperature and is reduced in response recovery time. A LaFe0.8O3 beside-heating-type ethanol gas sensor prepared in the invention can reach 138 in the sensitivity on ethanol in 1000 ppm at the working temperature of 140 DEG C, wherein the response and recovery times are respectively 1 s and 1.5 s. The gas sensor is less than 22 in all sensitivities on methane, acetone, carbon dioxide and glycerol in 1000 ppm. The gas sensor is high in sensitivity, is low in the working temperature, is ultrafast in response recovery property and is high in selectivity at the same time on ethanol, and is low in cost and is environmental-friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to gas sensors, and in particular to a gas sensor having a non-stoichiometric LaFe x o 3 The invention relates to a method for preparing an ethanol gas sensor element with ultrafast response and recovery characteristics as a working substance. Background technique [0002] With the development of modern society, people pay more and more attention to health and safety issues. Ethanol is the main component of all kinds of alcohol, and it is also a flammable gas. Excessive drinking, drunk driving and leakage of ethanol have great health and safety Therefore, a highly sensitive, highly selective, stable and reliable ethanol gas sensor is of great significance to human health and life safety. Currently, doped semiconductor oxides SnO 2 , ZnO, TiO 2 , Fe 2 o 3 , V 2 o 5 etc. are widely used in the detection of ethanol gas. The principle is to use the oxygen adsorbed on the surface of the semiconductor oxide to react wi...

Problems solved by technology

However, based on the previous research work of scientific researchers, it was found that: (1) LaFeO 3 The resistance itself is very large, which is not conducive to practical application. Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb and other divalent elements are often doped to replace the position of trivalent La, or doped with Co, Mg, Ni and other elements to replace the position of trivalent Fe, providing More hole carriers, thereby reducing the resistance of the material; (2) LaFeO with higher sensitivity 3 For ethanol-based gas sensor components, the optimal operating temperature is still high, usually above 200 °C, which is not conducive to the research of low-power devices; LaFeO with an optimal operating temperature below 200 °C 3 The ethanol-based gas sensor element either contains heavy metal elements such as Pb, which is not conducive to environmental protection, or contains rare earth precious metals such as Sm, and the cost is relatively high; (3) the current LaFeO 3 The response time of the base ethanol gas sensor element is usually above 10s, and the recovery time is above 15s. The response recovery time is long, and the purpose of real-time monitoring cannot be achieved.
