This study investigates the use of $TiO_{2},\;Pd,\;Pt$, and In which greatly improves a sensitivity to trimethylamine gas. The metal-$SnO_{2}$ thick films were prepared by screen-printing method onto $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrates with platinum electrode. The sensing characteristics were investigated by measuring the electrical resistance of each sensor in a test box as a function of detecting gas concentration. This was then used to detect trimethylamine, dimethylamine, and ammonia vapours within the concentration range of 100-1000ppm. The gas sensing properties of metal-$SnO_{2}$ mixed thick films depended on the content and variety of metal. It was found that sensitivity and selectivity of the films dopped with 1 wt% Pd and 10 wt% $TiO_{2}$ for trimethylamin gas showed the best result at $250^{\circ}C$.

Redox complexes to transport electrodes from biomaterial to electrodes are very important part in commercial biosensor industry. A novel osmium redox complex was synthesized by the coordinating pyridine group with osmium metal. A novel osmium complex is described as $[Os(dme-bpy)_2(ap-im)Cl]^{+/2+}$. We have been studied the electrochemical characteristics of this osmium complex with electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperommetry. In order to immobilize osmium redox complexes on the electrode, we deposited gold nano-particles on screen printed carbon electrode(SPE). The electrical signal converts the osmium redox films into an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation. The catalytic currents were monitored that the catalytic currents were linearly increased from 1 mM to 5 mM concentrations of glucose.

A new potassium sensitive field effect transistor modified with 4'-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 was prepared and its response characteristics were evaluated. The response slope of $K^{+}-ISFET$ for pH was 30.0 mV/decade and the response time was mere than 3 minutes. And the response slope and time of the $K^{+}-ISFET$ for potassium ion as $19.5{\pm}0.2{\;}mV/decade$ and about 3 minutes, respectively. The linear response range of the sensor for potassium ion was $2.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-2}M$. The selectivity coefficients of the $K^{+}-ISFET$ for the alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were also evaluated. Sodium, ammonium and calcium ions exhibited relatively significant interference. The long term stability of the sensor was remarkably improved and it could be used for more than 50 days.

In this paper, we report on an investigation of highly sensitive sensing performance of a hydrogen sensor composed of palladium (Pd) nanowires. The Pd nanowires have been grown by electrodeposition into nanochannels and liberated from the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by dissolving in an aqueous solution of NaOH. A combination of photo-lithography, electron beam lithography and a lift-off process has been utilized to fabricate the sensor using the Pd nanowire. The hydrogen concentrations for 2% and 0.1% were obtained from the sensitivities (${\Delta}R/R$) for 1.92% and 0.18%, respectively. The resistance of the Pd nanowires depends on absorption and desorption of hydrogen. Therefore, we expect that the Pd nanowires can be applicable for detecting highly sensitive hydrogen gas at room temperature.

형광화학센서는 형광분자의 화학적으로 유도된 형광의 소광 또는 증광을 통해 생체 등에서 특정 물질을 관찰할 수 있기에 그 활용도가 높다. 본 연구에서는 두 개의 서로 다른 킬레이트 결합자리를 가지는, 파이렌 이중체를 발색단의 형광분자(Pyex)를 이용하여, PET (photoinduced electron transition)와 AID (absorbance intensity decreasing)의 형광 소광 원리에 집중하여, 전자구조계산과 TD (time-dependent) 계산을 근거로 금속 양이온의 형광 소광 원리를 분류하고, 더불어 그에 관여하는 금속 양이온의 원자오비탈까지 탐색하였다. 그 결과 Pyex와 그 칼륨이온 복합체에서는 실험값과 일치하는 형광이, 납과 은 이온 복합체에서는 소광이 나타났다. 구체적으로는 납 이온의 경우 PET를 주된 원인으로 AID와 함께 작용하여 소광을 발생시키고, 은 이온의 경우는 AID에 의해 소광이 일으키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 납 이온의 p 오비탈이 소광에 관여하는 것으로 볼 수 있는 결과도 나타났다.

In the present study, pristine carbon nanotube (p-CNT) and thiolated carbon naotube (t-CNT) electrodes were investigated to improve their detectabilities for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). In addition, we evaluate which reaction mechanism is used when the electrolyte contains both Cd and Pb metals. Square wave stripping was employed for analyzing the sensitivity for the metals. A frequency of 30 Hz, a deposition potential of -1.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl and a deposition time of 300 s were used as optimal SWSV parameters. t-CNT electrodes show the better sensitivity for both Cd and Pb metals than that of p-CNT electrodes. In case of Cd, sensitivities of p-CNT and t-CNT electrodes were $3.1{\mu}A/{\mu}M$ and $4.6{\mu}A/{\mu}M$, respectively, while the sensitivities for Pb were $6.5{\mu}A/{\mu}M$ (p-CNT) and $9.9{\mu}A/{\mu}M$ (t-CNT), respectively. The better sensitivity of p-CNT electrodes is due to the enhancement in the reaction rate of metal ions that are facilitated by thiol groups attached on the surface of CNT. When sensitivity was measured for the detection of Cd and Pb metals present simultaneously in the electrolyte, Pb indicates better sensitivity than Cd irrespective of electrode types. It is ascribed to the low standard electrode potential of Pb, which then promotes the possibility of oxidation reaction of the Pb metal ions. In turn, the Pb metal ions are deposited on the electrode surface faster than that of Cd metal ions and cover the electrode surface during deposition step, and thus Pb metals that cover the large portion of the surface are more easily stripped than that of Cd metals during stripping step.
