A potentiometric sensor based on the 1-benzyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl) thio-urea was synthesized and tested as an ionophore in PVC based membrane sensor towards $SCN^-$ ions. This membrane exhibits a linear stable response over a wide concentration range ($1.0{\times}10^{-5}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{-2}M$) with a slope of -59.2 mV/dec., a detection limit of ${\log}[SCN^-]=-5.05$, and a selectivity coefficient for thiocyanate against perchlorate anion of ${\log}K^{pot}_{SCN^-j}=-0.133$. The selectivity series of the membrane is as follows: $SCN^-$ > $ClO_4{^-}$ > $I^-$ > $NO_3{^-}$ > $HSO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $HSO_4{^-}$ > $F^-$ > $CH_3COO^-$ > $HCO_3{^-}$ > $Br^-$ > $H_2PO_4{^-}$ > $SO{_3}^{2-}$ > $SO{_4}^{2-}$ > $CO{_3}^{2-}$. The proposed electrode showed good selectivity and a good response for the $SCN^-$ ion over a wide variety of other anions in pH 6.0 buffer solutions and has a fast response time of about < 5s. The influences of the membrane by pH, ionophore, and plasticizer were studied.

There are various polluting emissions related to the air quality such as $NO_x$, $CO_2$, CO, VOCs, $O_3$, $SO_2$, $CH_4$, $H_2S$, $NH_3$, etc. We need the system that reduces emission of these environment gases and detects risk factors in modern society. Therefore, if we use the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology and a MAV(Micro Air Vehicle) Quad Rotor which can be hovering and moving free for setting up the environment gas sensing system, the realtime measurement on environment gases is facilitated and by extension, in application of traffic watchdog, forest fire surveillance and counter-terrorism efforts, we anticipate making better use of a Quad Rotor.

최근 인간의 생활환경에 존재하는 유해가스 및 대기 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 환경유해가스를 손쉽게 감지할 수 있는 센서의 필요성이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 그 중 암모니아 가스는 생활환경 내에 존재하는 악취성분일 뿐만 아니라 냉각기의 냉매로 사용되는 가스로서 대기 중 허용농도가 50 ppm으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 프린트스크린 인쇄법을 이용하여 SnO$_2$를 모물질로 하여 귀금속 산화물인 Pt와 Au를 첨가한 암모니아 반도체 가스센서를 제조하여 그 감도 및 SO$_2$, NOx, CH$_4$, NH$_3$, 에 대한 선택성을 분석하였다.

The developed system consisted of LD(Laser Diode) tuned a wavelength of $1.65\;{\mu}m$, two mirrors to collect a laser beam, photo detector. It could detect methane gas at a long range and its sensitivity was 1.98 V/$CH_4%$.

본 논문에서는 세 가지 종류의 가스센서를 사용하여 수소가스에 대한 정량화 및 선택도를 향상시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 여러 가지 수소가스 농도에 대한 각 가스센서들의 출력을 측정하였고 높은 출력과 분해능특성을 보이는 농도범위를 분석한 결과 세 가지 종류의 센서의 사용은 10,000ppm까지의 광대역의 수소 가스농도를 신뢰성 있게 측정할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 또한 어떠한 농도의 메탄(CH4) 및 일산화탄소에 대한 출력과 수소에 대한 출력을 비교한 결과 세 가지 센서의 출력을 조합하면 수소가스의 선택성을 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A novel stick-shaped portable sensing device featuring a microhole array interface between the polyvinylchloride-2-nitrophenyloctylether (PVC-NPOE) gel and water phase was developed for in-situ sensing of perchlorate ions in real water samples. Perchlorate sensitive sensing responses were obtained based on measuring the current changes with respect to the assisted transfer reaction of perchlorate ions by a perchlorate selective ligand namely, bis(dibenzoylmethanato)Ni(II) (Ni(DBM)2) across the polarized microhole array interface. Cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize the assisted transfer reaction of perchlorate ions by the $Ni(DBM)_2$ ligand when using the portable sensing device. The current response for the transfer of perchlorate anions by $Ni(DBM)_2$ across the micro-water/gel interface linearly increased as a function of the perchlorate ion concentration. The technique of differential pulse stripping voltammetry was also utilized to improve the sensitivity of the perchlorate anion detection down to 10 ppb. This was acquired by preconcentrating perchlorate anions in the gel layer by means of holding the ion transfer potential at 0 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) for 30 s followed by stripping the complexed perchlorate ion with the ligand. The effect of various potential interfering anions on the perchlorate sensor was also investigated and showed an excellent selectivity over $Br^-$, $NO_2{^-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $CO{_3}^{2^-}$, $CH_3COO^-$ and $SO{_4}^{2^-}$ ions. As a final demonstration, some regional water samples from the Sincheon river in Daegu city were analyzed and the data was verified with that of ion chromatography (IC) analysis from one of the Korean-certified water quality evaluation centers.

Thick film $H_2$ sensors were fabricated using $SnO_2$ loaded with $Ag_2O$ and $PtO_x$. The composition that gave the highest sensitivity for $H_2$ was in the weight% ratio of $SnO_2 : PtO_x : Ag_2O$ as 93 : 1 : 6. The nano-crystalline powders of $SnO_2$ synthesized by sol-gel method were screen printed with $Ag_2O$ and $PtO_x$ on alumina substrates. The fabricated sensors were tested against gases like $H_2$, $CH_4$, $C_3H_8$, $C_2H_5OH$ and $SO_2$. The composite material was found sensitive against $H_2$ at the working temperature $130^{\circ}C$, with minor interference of other gases. The $H_2$ gas as low as 100 ppm can be detected by the present fabricated sensors. It was found that the sensors based on $SnO_2-Ag_2O-PtO_x$ system exhibited the high performance, high selectivity and very short response time to $H_2$ at ppm level. These characteristics make the sensor to be a promising candidate for detecting low concentrations of $H_2$.

CO 가스 감지를 위한 두께 500-600 nm $In_2O_3$를 기저 물질로한 박막센서를 rf magnetron 방법을 이용하여 제작하였다. CO가스에 대한 감도 향상 및 -CH가 포함된 탄화수소 가스들과의 선택성을 높이기 위해 전이 금속인 Cobalt 촉매를 rf sputtering을 이용하여 초박막 형태로 0.7-2.8 nm 까지 두께를 조절하여 증착하고 $500^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후 가스 감도 특성을 조사하였다. CO에 대한 감도는 Co 두께 2.1 nm, 작동온도 $350^{\circ}C$에서 가장 우수하였고, $350^{\circ}C{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, Co (1.4 nm) 에서 $C_3H_8$에 대한 감도가 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 광전자 분석법 (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy;XPS)을 통하여 초박막 Co가 표면이 $Co_2O_3$가 덮어진 CoO 형태로 존재함을 알 수 있었고, $(n-type)In_2O_3$-(p-type)CoO의 p-n junction 이 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 이러한 p-n junction type 가스센서에는 접합 경계면에서 형성된 전하 공핍층 (depletion layer)의 두께 변화에 따른 저항 변화에 의해 환원성 가스에 대한 감응 기구 (sensing mechanism)를 설명할 수 있었다.

In this study, two types of PS substrate were fabricated for sensing of chemical and biological substances. For sensing of the humidity and chemical analyzes such as $CH_3OH$ or $C_2H_5OH$, PS layers are prepared by photoelectrochemical etching of silicon wafer in aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution. To evaluate their sensitivity, we measured the resistance variation of the PS diaphragm. As the amplitude of applied voltage increases from 2 to 6Vpp at constant frequency of 5kHz, the resistance variation for humidity sensor rises from 376.3 to $784.8{\Omega}$/%RH. And the sensitivities for $CH_3OH$ and $C_2H_5OH$ were 0.068 uA/% and 0.212 uA/%, respectively. For biological sensing application, amperometric urea sensors were fabricated based on porous silicon(PS), and planar silicon(PLS) electrode substrates by the electrochemical methods. Pt thin film was sputtered on these substrates which were previously formed by electrochemical anodization. Poly (3-methylthiophene) (P3MT) were used for electron transfer matrix between urease(Urs) and the electrode phase, and Urs also was by electrochemically immobilized. Effective working area of these electrodes was determined for the first time by using $Fe(CN)_6^{3-}/Fe(CN)_6^{4-}$ redox couple in which nearly reversible cyclic voltammograms were obtained. The $i_p$ vs $v^{1/2}$ plots show that effective working electrode area of the PS-based Pt thin film electrode was 1.6 times larger than the PLS-based one and we can readily expect the enlarged surface area of PS electrode would result in increased sensitivity by ca. 1.6 times. Actually, amperometric sensitivity of the Urs/P3MT/Pt/PS electrode was ca 0.91uA/$mM{\cdot}cm^2$, and that of the Urs/P3MT/Pt/PLS electrode was ca. 0.91uA/$mM{\cdot}cm^2$ in a linear range of 1mmol/L to 100mmol/L urea concentrations

TiCN thin films were deposited on tool steels at $510^{\circ}C$ by PECVD from a $TiCl_4+N_2+CH_4+H_2+Ar$ gaseous mixture. The microstructures and preferred orientation were investigated. The micro-scratch tests were performed using a system equipped with an acoustic emission sensor. Critical loads were determined to evaluate the adhesion of TiCN to substrate. The influences of the microstructures of substrates, double layered coatings, and coatings after nitriding(duplex coating) were investigated. The experimental results showed that the microstructures of substrates and double layered coating did not affect the critical loads considerably. By the duplex coating, critical loads were not always increased. In some cases, duplex coatings decreased critical loads significantly despite of absence of black layer. In this study, we tried to relate the results of scratch test to the residual stress analysis. Nitriding before the coating reduces the tensile residual stress in the film, which gives rise to low critical load in scratch test.
