Thermocatalytic gas sensor based on palladium nanoparticles synthesized by spark ablation
Journal Title: Modern Innovations, Systems and Technologies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
We have demonstrated the possibility of fabricating thermocatalytic gas sensors with a catalytic layer based on palladium nanoparticles synthesized by spark ablation using palladium ingots with a purity of 99.96 wt. % as a feed material. The sensor was implemented using a commercially available MEMS platform based on thin glass ceramic membrane 50–60 µm thick with an integrated microheater. The formulated functional ink comprising synthesized nanoparticles with a concentration of about 25 wt. % was deposited on the opposite to the microheater side of a membrane with the use of SonoPlot GIX Microplotter II printing equipment. The obtained structure was annealed at a temperature of 400 °C to remove the organic binder from the dry residue of the deposited ink. As a result, the uniform layer of catalytically active material with a thickness of about 3 μm was obtained on the membrane surface. The sensor implemented based on two MEMS platforms (one with a catalytic layer, the second one without a layer) placed in the Wheatstone bridge circuit demonstrates high sensitivity to methane (50 mV per 1% of methane) at a total power consumption of about 350 mW. The achieved characteristics are comparable with that of commercial sensors manufactured by Figaro USA Inc., SGX Sensortech, Zhengzhou Winsen Electronics Technology Co.
