In/Pd-Doped SnO₂-Based CO Micro-Structure Sensor with High Sensitivity and Quick Response

In/Pd-doped SnO₂ is synthesized via a sol-gel method and coated on a silicon substrate with Pt electrodes to fabricate a micro-structure sensor. The sensor can be used to detect CO down to 1ppm (the sensitivity is about 3), and the response time and recovery time are about 5 and 15s, respectively. Excellent selectivity is also found based on our sensor. These results demonstrate a promising approach to fabricate high-performance CO sensors with high sensitivity and quick response.
