Abstract
The development of a sprayed ZnO thin film-based NO2 sensor is reported. The effect of In-doping on the sensor performance is studied. With the addition of 3 wt % of indium nitrate to the spraying solution, a good sensor response to 5 ppm of NO2 at 275 degrees C and an important decrease in the device electrical resistance is obtained. The dependence of the electrical resistance oil temperature in several gas atmospheres is also considered. A possible sensitization mechanism is discussed.
