Amorphous titanium dioxide (TiO2) and gold (Au) doped TiO2-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have been investigated as hydrogen gas detectors. The nanocrystal-doped TiO2 films were synthesized through a sol-gel route,mixing a Ti-butoxide-based solution with diluted colloidal gold nanoparticles. The films were deposited via spin coating onto 64° YX LiNbO3 SAWtransducers in a helium atmosphere. The SAW gas sensors were operated at various temperatures between 150 and 310 °C. It was found that gold doping on TiO2 increased the device sensitivity and reduced the optimum operating temperature.

Abstract
Amorphous titanium dioxide (TiO2) and gold (Au) doped TiO2-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have been investigated as hydrogen gas detectors. The nanocrystal-doped TiO2 films were synthesized through a sol-gel route,mixing a Ti-butoxide-based solution with diluted colloidal gold nanoparticles. The films were deposited via spin coating onto 64° YX LiNbO3 SAWtransducers in a helium atmosphere. The SAW gas sensors were operated at various temperatures between 150 and 310 °C. It was found that gold doping on TiO2 increased the device sensitivity and reduced the optimum operating temperature.File in questo prodotto:
