Gas sensor array based on tin oxide nano structure for volatile organic compounds detection

• The detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is essential in practicalapplication in breath analysis. Thus, gas sensors based on metal oxide have been fabricated, butthey lacked selectivity. One approach to resolve this task is to use an array of highly sensitiveand selective sensors as an electronic nose. Here a gas sensor array based on Tin oxide nanostructurewith temperature modulation techniques was presented. A Platinum micro-heater isaccompanied with the array gas sensor. The gas sensor array was composed of five singlesensors, and that single sensor is located at different site from the micro heater and works atdifferent temperatures. The gas sensing properties of the gas array sensors were investigatedwith VOC gases such as Ethanol, Methanol, Iso-propanol, and Acetone as well as NH3, H2, andH2S. We also confirm the good selectivity of the array sensor for Ethanol, Methanol, Isopropanol,Acetone, NH3, H2, and H2S by using radar graphic method.
