Vanadium pentoxide ($V_2O_5$) powder was prepared and mixed with Molybdenum Oxides ($MoM_3$) to form Mo-doped and -undoped $VO_2$ films by a sol-gel method on graphite conductive substrates. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the chemical compositions and microstructures of the Mo-doped and -undoped $VO_2$ films. The variation of electrical resistance was measured as a function of temperature and stoichiometric composition between vanadium and molybdenum. In this study, it was found that Mo-doped and -undoped $VO_2$ shows the typical negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior. As the amount of the molybdenum increases, the electrical resistance of Modoped $VO_2$ film gets reduced under the transition temperature and a linear decrease in the transition temperature is observed. From these experimental results, we can conclude that the electrical resistance behavior with temperature change of $VO_2$ films can be utilized as a self-heating source with the electrical current flowing through the graphite substrate.

인류는 지금 2차석기시대를 맞이하고 있으며 이 시대는 인공으로 만들어지는 돌인 세라믹이 단순히 용기나 도구로 사용되는 것 이외에 정보화사회에 있어서 기술의 관건이 될 지능소자로서 사용되고 있다. 세라믹은 내열성, 내식성, 내마모성이라는 특성으로 인해 많이 이용되어 왔지만 이러한 특성 이외에도 전자적 기능, 광학기능, 화학기능 등 "두뇌"도 우수한 재료라 할 수 있다. 더구나 세라믹은 인간을 대신하여 감지하는 것이 가능한 각종 센서로서도 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 인간에 있어서 눈, 코, 귀, 혀, 피부 등 오감이 센서이며, 눈은 물체를 식별하는 것으로 빛을 검출하고 귀는 소리를 듣는 것으로 압력과 음파를 검출하고, 코는 냄새로 가스나 온도를 검출하고, 혀는 맛으로 미각을 검출하고, 피부는 촉각에 의한 압력, 온도, 습도를 검출하며, 인간의 오감에 대응되지 않는 것으로 세라믹 센서는 자기장을 감지할 수 있다. 이와같이 센서는 용도에 따라 수많은 센서가 개발되어 그 종류가 대단히 많기 때문에 모든 센서에 대해서 기술한다는 것은 어렵다. 그러므로 여기서는 센서중에서 기본적인 가스센서와 습도센서에 대해 소개하기로 한다. 소개하기로 한다.

Automobile Fuel Shortage Detecting Sensor, in this paper, was fabricated by using heat dissipation coefficient difference between gasoline and air condition the NTC thermistor of Mn-Ni Co system with the composition ratio of Mn$_{3}$O$_{4}$ : 9wt%, NiO : 28wt%, and CO$_{3}$O$_{4}$ : 61wt%. The condition of sensor operation is that, for turn-on characteristics, the time of arriving at 135mA must be less than 180 second when the DC voltage of 11V is applied in the air condition of -10.deg. C and that, for turn-off characteristics, the saturation current must be less than 60mA when the DC voltage of 15V is applied in the gasoline condition of 60.deg. C. It is known, from the experimental results, that the resistance range and B-constant for the Automobile Fuel Shortage Detecting Sensor with dimension of 5*3*0.9mm were 850-1150.ohm. and 1150-1250.deg. C, respectively and the resistance range and B-constant were agree with that of sensor operation condition. When Bi$_{2}$O$_{3}$ of 0-0.5wt% was added to Mn$_{3}$O$_{4}$ : 9wt%, NiO : 28wt%, and CO$_{3}$O$_{4}$ : 61wt% composition, the resistivity and B-value were 380-430(.ohm.-cm) and 1930 - 2030, respectively. Particularly, for Bi$_{3}$O$_{3}$ of 0.25-0.5wt%, the sintering density of over 90% and the operation characteristics necessary to Automobile Fuel Shortage Detecting Sensor were obtained. The difference of heat dissipation coefficient gasoline and air condition was 15 times.

The spinel-type oxide (Ni_x, Mn_y, Co_3-x-y)O₄ (NMC) is widely utilized as a material for temperature sensors with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC), finding applications across various industries including electric vehicle battery management systems. Typically, NMC is manufactured using solid-state reaction methods employing powders of Ni, Mn, and Co compounds, with the densification process through sintering recognized as a crucial factor determining the electrical properties of the temperature sensor material. In this study, NMC pellets were synthesized via solid-state reaction and their crystallographic and microstructural characteristics were investigated. Also, the activation energy for densification behavior during the sintering process was determined. According to the analysis results, the room temperature resistance of the NMC pellets was measured at 10.03 Kohm, with the sensitivity parameter, B-value, recorded at 3601.8 K, indicating their potential applicability as temperature sensors across various industrial fields. Furthermore, the activation energy for densification was found to be 273.3 ± 0.4 kJ/mol, providing valuable insights into the thermodynamic aspects of the sintering process of the NMC.
