본 논문에서는 일산화탄소 센서와 미세먼지 센서를 이용하여 연기농도에 따른 감도시험을 수행하였다. 일산화탄소 센서와 미세먼지 센서는 광전식감지기 감도시험 챔버 내에서 발생시킨 연기농도에 따라 감지반응이 있었으며, 다양한 화재정보를 제공을 위해 가스 센서 및 미세먼지 센서가 기술기준 도입이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

화재감지기는 화재시 발생되는 열, 연기, 불꽃, 독성가스등의 다양한 연소생성물을 감시한다. 기술의 발전으로 화재 감지방식과 기능이 다양해지고 있으며, 이에 따라 다양한 방식의 감지기들이 개발되고 있다. 최근 진보된 감지기들은 화재로 발생 이전에서 부터 감지, 비화재보에 대한 방지는 물론 감지기의 상태 오염 감도 등의 다양 정보를 제공함으로써 유사시 신속하고 정확한 대응이 가능하도록 발전되고 있다. 이러한 진보된 감지기는 막대한 피해가 예상되는 장소, 대피하는데 많은 시간이 소요되는 장소에 적용되어 인명 및 재산피해를 절감 시키고 있다. 일산화탄소감지기 또한 진보된 감지기로 화재 초기 가연물이 연소할 때 발생하는 일산화탄소를 감시한다. 일반화재의 경우 화재 초기에 가연물이 서서히 연소시 불완전 연소로 인한 다량의 일산화탄소가 발생되기 때문에 기존 열, 연기, 불꽃감지기에 비해 빠른 반응을 보여 화재를 조기에 감지함으로써 조기 대응으로 인한 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실물화재시험 자료를 바탕으로 CO감지기의 조기 감시능력을 확인하였다. CO감지기는 화재초기 발생되는 일산화탄소를 감지하므로 대피시간이 많이 필요한 장소(병원 노인요양시설 학교 백화점 등), 침대 폼메트리스 훈소화재 발생장소(호텔침실 기숙사 숙박업소, 병실 등)등에 적응성이 우수할 것으로 분석된다. 최근 설계되는 초고층 건축물 및 주요 시설물 등에서 화재 시뮬레이션과 가상시나리오 유형 분석을 통해 성능위주의 설계가 적용되고 있다. 그만큼 정확하고 신속한 감지가 중요하다 할 수 있다. CO감지기야 말로 그 기대에 가장 부합될 것으로 분석된다.

In this study, a sensor for detection of nitric oxide (NO) gas was developed using petroleum pitch-based activated carbon which was synthesized from pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO). Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was added to increase molecular weight by stimulating a polymerization of components in PFO during the pitch synthesis process. The increase in the molecular weight of pitch contributed to the improvement of textural properties of activated carbon, such as the specific surface area and micropore volume. It also enhanced the sensitivity of NO gas sensor based on the activated carbon. In addition, the effect of PET addition during the pitch synthesis on the surface oxygen content and conductivity of activated carbon was investigated. Finally, the correlation of the sensitivity with physical properties of activated carbon was analyzed.

Highly-porous $SnO_2$thin films were prepared for recognizing and detecting of the inflammable gases, like butane, propane, LPG, carbon monoxide. To obtain sensing films, Sn, Pt/Sn, Au/Sn, and Pt,Au/Sn films were deposited employing a thermal evaporator for Sn film and a sputter for novel metals of Pt or/and Au. These films were annealed for 2 h at $700^{\circ}C$ to form $SnO_2$-based thin films. The films showed the tetragonal structure and also exhibited many defects and porosity, which could give high sensitivity to thin films. The thin films showed high sensitivity and reproductivity to the tested gases(butane, propane, LPG, and carbon monoxide) to even to low gas concentrations in range of workplace environmental standards. Especially, Pt/$SnO_2$film showed the highest sensitivity to butane, LPG, and carbon monoxide. And pure $SnO_2$ film manifested the highest sensitivity to propane. By using the sensing patterns from the films, we could reliably recognize the kinds and the quantities of the tested inflammable gases within the range of the threshold limit values(TLV) and the lower explosion limit(LEL) through the principal component analysis(PCA).

We have investigated the temperature dependence of CO gas sensitivity for ZnO and ZnO-CuO thick films at 200 ppm CO gas, where those films were prepared by thermal transformation. The ZnO thick film shows the maximum sensitivity of -4 at >$300^{\circ}C$ On the other hand, ZnO-CuO(more than 1mol%) thick film shows that the maximum sensitivity reduced to less than 1.5. The decrease in sensitivity of CO gas with increasing the CuO contents is due to the decrease of the oxygen absorption in thick films.

Three types of SnO2 based semiconductor gas sensors sensitive to propane, alcohol, carbon monoidxe and acetone have been fabricated. Adding about 0.3wt.% PdCl2 or SrCO3 to SnO2 improved the sentivity. The devices were tired for one hour in air in the temperarure range of $600^{\circ}C$ to 1, 00$0^{\circ}C$. An electrical warning system using the fabricated sensors is suggested.

A high temperature tolerant microelectronic-based carbon monioxde(CO) gas sensor has been developed. The gas sensing performance has been studied over a wide temperature range$(100-300^\circ{C)}$. The gas sensitivity of the sensor is high, its initial sensing behavior is very fast, and the sensor is reproducible. Pt-SiC and $Pt-SnO_2-SiC$ diodes are fabricated using standard semiconductor processes and their CO gas-sensing behaviors are analyzed as a function of CO gas concentration and temperature by I-V and $\Delta{I-t}$ methods under steady-state and transient conditions. The sensitivity of the device with $Pt-SnO_2$ catalytic gate is higher than that of the Pt gate. The experimental results indicate that $SnO_2$ layer improves the catalytic reaction of the Pt layer.

A sensor array with 10 discrete sensors integrated on a substrate w3s developed for discriminating the kinds and quantities of inflammable gases, like butane, propane, methane, LPG, carbon monoxide. The sensor array consisted of 10 metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors using the nano-sized $SnO_2$ as base material and had differentiated sensitivity patterns to specific gas. The sensor array was designed with uniform thermal distribution and had also high sensitivity and good reproductivity to low gas concentration through nano-sized sensing materials with different additives. By using the sensing patterns of the sensor array at $400^{\circ}C$, we could reliably discriminate the kinds and quantities of the tested inflammable gases under the lower explosion limit through the principal component analysis(PCA).

최근 높은 비표면적, 우수한 결정성, 나노스케일의 크기 등 다양한 물리 화학적 특성을 지닌 1차원 나노구조체를 이용한 가스센서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가스센서는 네트워크 된 나노선들 이용하여 벌크, 박막 보다 극대화된 비표면적으로 가스 감도와 반응 속도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 촉매 첨가를 위해 Acetylacetone 용액 7 ml에 10 mM이 되도록 Pt 분말을 첨가하여 촉매용액을 제조하였다. 마이크로피펫을 이용하여 미량을 센서의 감응체 부문에 뿌려 대기 중에서 건조한 후 센서의 감도를 측정하였다. 측정은 $250^{\circ}C$에서 일산화탄소 가스 500 ppm의 가스농도로 촉정하였을 때 촉매가 첨가된 센서가 70% 이상의 개선된 감도를 나타내었다. 이는 나노선에 분산된 촉매에 주입되는 가스가 흡착되고 다시 표면의 산소와 반응하여 전기전도도를 변화시키는 것으로 보인다. 첨가된 촉매에 대한 영향을 분석하기 위해 AES, XRD, FT-IR, TEM 등의 분석을 실시하였다.

A micro sensor array with 4 discrete sensors integrated on a microhotplate was developed for identifying the kinds and quantities of explosive gases. The sensor array consisited of four tin oxide-based thin films with the high and broad sensitivity to the tested explosive gases and uniform thermal distribution on the plate. The microhotplate, using silicon substrate with N/O/N membrane, dangling in air by Al bonding wires, and controlling the thickness by chemical mechanical process (CMP), has been designed and fabricated. By employing the sensitivity signal of the sensor array at 40$0^{\circ}C$, we could reliably classily the kinds and quantities of the explosive gases like butan, propane, LPG, and carbon monoxide within the range of threshold limit values (TLVs), employing principal component analysis (PCA).
