Abstract
The effect of surface remaining clusters for α-Fe2O3-based sensors using Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and SnCl4·5H2O as raw material was examined to further improve the CO sensitivity and selectivity against CH4. CO and CH4 responses as a function of operating temperature are shown. With an increase in the pH value of the preparation solution from 7 to 10.5, the CO sensitivity was significantly improved and optimum operating temperature shifted from around 300 °C for sensors prepared at pH 7 to about 250 °C for those prepared at 10.5. However, the CH4 response for sensors prepared at different pHs slightly increased with increasing pH. The CO sensitivity was improved probably through the formation of chemically bonded OH clusters during its preparation.
