Abstract

In order to develop a semiconductor type gas sensor applicable to the monitoring of N₂O in air, a search for the semiconducting oxides sensitive to N₂O was carried out. Among the 23 kinds of single oxides tested, SnO₂ turned out to give the highest sensitivity to N₂O, although the sensitivity was not high enough. The N₂O sensitivity was found to be promoted effectively when SnO₂ was loaded with a small amount of a basic oxide such as SrO, CaO, BaO, Bi₂O₃ and Sm₂O₃. The promotion was particularly conspicuous with SrO loading. For example, 0.5wt.% SrO-loaded SnO₂, exhibited the N₂O sensitivity about three times as high as that of pure SnO₂, and could detect N₂O in air fairly well in the concentration range of 10-300 ppm at 500°C.
