Low-cost chemical gas sensors for selective formaldehyde quantification at ppb-level in field tests

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Data from a silicon carbide based field-effect transistor were recorded over a period of nine days in a ventilated school room. For enhanced sensitivity and selectivity especially to formaldehyde, porous iridium on pulsed laser deposited tungsten trioxide was used as sensitive layer, in combination with temperature cycled operation and subsequent multivariate data processing techniques. The sensor signal was compared to reference measurements for formaldehyde concentration, CO2 concentration, temperature, and relative humidity. The results show a distinct pattern for the reference formaldehyde concentration, arising from the day/night cycle. Taking this into account, the projections of both principal component analysis and partial least squares regression lead to almost the same result concerning correlation to the reference. The sensor shows cross-sensitivity to an unidentified component of human activity, presumably breath, and, possibly, to other compounds appearing together with formaldehyde in indoor air. Nevertheless, the sensor is able to detect and partially quantify formaldehyde below 40 ppb with a correlation to the reference of 0.48 and negligible interference from ambient temperature or relative humidity.

- In this study,we focus on the plant bioelectric potential response as a low-cost and a high sensitivity evaluation technique of plant physiological activities for an agriculture support system. We developed a cultivation light intensity control system using bioelectric potential response. This system contributes to improvement of the cultivation environment and provides energy saving effect.In addition, we introduced a field effect transistor based on silicon carbide (SiC-FET)gas sensor and evaluated the characteristics of the sensor by changing several parameters. The results showed that iridium gated SiC-FET sensor has high sensitivity to ethylene,and the highest response is achieved at 200 ◦C. We aim at the development of an agriculture support system, which combines the plant bioelectrical potential and the SiC-FET gas sensor response.
