Abstract
The Sn $O_2$-based gas sensors can detect inflammable and toxic gases of low concentration by the modulation of surface resistance, but they lack in selectivity on the whole. To give selectivity to the Sn $O_2$-based gas sensors, studies on the sensing mechanism, selective gas sensing materials and signal processing techniques are demanded. Ethanol (C$_2$ $H_{5}$OH) and acetonitrile ($CH_3$CN) were confirmed to undergo catalytic oxidation on Sn $O_2$ by gas chromatography. PdCl$_2$-doped Sn $O_2$ showed excellent sensitivity to ethanol and acetonitrile, while La$_2$ $O_3$-doped Sn $O_2$ showed excellent sensitivity to ethanol, but poor sensitivity to acetonitrile. Using these two sensors and pattern recognition, the selectivity to acetonitrile is greatly enhanced. The minimum detection level of acetonitrile was 15 ppm in air and 20 to 100 ppm when exposed to interfering gases together with acetonitrile.
