This invention discloses a
carbon monoxide sensor and its filter preparation method. The filter comprises an
activated carbon cloth layer and a thin film layer formed by
slurry printing; the
slurry contains, by
mass, 20-60 parts of
metal oxide, 5-10 parts of binder, 8-15 parts of dispersant, 40-80 parts of carrier, and 50-80 parts of
solvent. In the preparation process, the
metal oxide and dispersant are first mixed in
ultrapure water, dried at 135°C, and crushed. Then, the mixture is ball-milled with the binder, carrier, and
solvent to obtain the
slurry. Finally, the slurry is printed onto a breathable substrate using a steel mesh or
screen printing process to form a film. This sensor utilizes the
activated carbon cloth to preferentially adsorb most organic vapors. Simultaneously, the
metal oxide, after modification with the dispersant, has increased surface active sites, which can further catalyze the oxidation or
chemical adsorption of residual organic vapors, effectively suppressing their poisoning or cross-interference on the
electrochemical electrode. The printed thin film is dense and uniform, and combined with the ball milling
composite process, it significantly improves the resistance to
organic vapor interference, ensuring the selectivity and long-term stability of
CO detection.
