We prepared a highly sensitive hydrogen (H₂) sensor based on Indium oxides (In₂O₃) porous nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with Platinum (Pt) nanoparticle in the range of 1.6~5.7 at.%. In₂O₃ NPs were fabricated by microwave irradiation method, and decorations of Pt nanoparticles were performed by electroless plating on In₂O₃ NPs. Crystal structures, morphologies, and chemical information on Pt-loaded In₂O₃ NPs were characterized by grazing-incident X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The effect of the Pt nanoparticles on the H₂-sensing performance of In₂O₃ NPs was investigated over a low concentration range of 5 ppm of H₂ at 150-300 ℃ working temperatures. The results showed that the H₂ response greatly increased with decreasing sensing temperature. The H₂ response of Pt loaded porous In₂O₃ NPs is higher than that of pristine In₂O₃ NPs. H₂ gas selectivity and high sensitivity was explained by the extension of the electron depletion layer and catalytic effect. Pt loaded porous In₂O₃ NPs sensor can be a robust manner for achieving enhanced gas selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of H₂.

The interaction between carbon monoxide (CO) and a cobalt-salen complex (Co(salen)) was studied and applied to detect CO. The metal complex doped PEDOT:PSS film exhibited good sensitivity to CO and differentiate CO from other gases. The response of the composite to CO was reversible (RSD < 5%) change in resistance upon removal of CO gas from the test chamber. The effects of adding Co(salen) in the probe film on the response of the sensor were investigated using AFM, XPS, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The sensitivity of the sensor increased as the Co(salen) concentration enhanced as it increased from 0.0 to 1.5 wt. %, where the highest sensitivity ($%{\Delta}R/R_o$) of $-25.0{\pm}0.05%$ was achieved with 1.0 wt. % Co(salen). The sensor containing probe exhibited a linear response ($R^2$ = 0.983) in the range of 0.5 to 10.0% CO (v/v) $N_2$, and the detection limit was 1.74% CO (v/v) in $N_2$.

A triple-layered $PMMA/Ni_{64}Zr_{36}/PDMS$ hydrogen gas sensor using hydrogen permeable alloy and flexible polymer layers is fabricated through spin coating and DC-magnetron sputtering. PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) is used as a flexible substrate and PMMA(polymethylmethacrylate) thin film is deposited onto the $Ni_{64}Zr_{36}$ alloy layer to give a high hydrogen-selectivity to the sensor. The measured hydrogen sensing ability and response time of the fabricated sensor at high hydrogen concentration of 99.9 % show a 20 % change in electrical resistance, which is superior to conventional Pd-based hydrogen sensors, which are difficult to use in high hydrogen concentration environments. At a hydrogen concentration of 5 %, the resistance of electricity is about 1.4 %, which is an electrical resistance similar to that of the $Pd_{77}Ag_{23}$ sensor. Despite using low cost $Ni_{64}Zr_{36}$ alloy as the main sensing element, performance similar to that of existing Pd sensors is obtained in a highly concentrated hydrogen atmosphere. By improving the sensitivity of the hydrogen detection through optimization including of the thickness of each layer and the composition of Ni-Zr alloy thin film, the proposed Ni-Zr-based hydrogen sensor can replace Pd-based hydrogen sensors.

Fabrication of iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures for detection of ammonia gas at room temperature is reported. The iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures are fabricated by in situ co-arc-discharge method using a graphite source with varying numbers of iron wires inserted. The composite structures reveal higher response signals at room temperature than at high temperatures. As the number of iron wires inserted increased, the volume of carbon nanotubes and iron nanoparticles produced increased. The oxidation condition of the composite structures varied the carbon nanotube/iron oxide ratio in the structure and, consequently, the resistance of the structures and, finally, the ammonia gas sensing performance. The highest sensor performance was realized with $500^{\circ}C/2h$ oxidation heat-treatment condition, in which most of the carbon nanotubes were removed from the composite and iron oxide played the main role of ammonia sensing. The response signal level was 62% at room temperature. We also found that UV irradiation enhances the sensing response with reduced recovery time.

최근 화학물질을 사용하는 시설이 증가하면서 취급양도 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 화학물질 누출사고는 꾸준히 발생되고 있으며 때에 따라 다량의 화학물질이 누출되는 경우에는 큰 피해로 이어질 가능성이 크다. 이러한 산업단지에는 수많은 센서로부터 얻는 정보를 이용해 누출 발생지역을 감지 감시하고 있으며, 기존의 고정식 센서를 로봇이나 드론에 적용하여 산업현장에 이용되고 있다. 이에 따라 화학물질을 취급하는 공정의 누출조건, 환경조건을 반영한 다양한 누출 시나리오를 토대로 빠른 감지와 대응을 위해 경계면의 센서 배치 방안을 제시할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화학물질이 누출되는 경우에 대해 COMSOL을 사용하여 주요 파라미터를 적용, 실질적인 사고 시나리오를 해석하였다. 그리고 사고 시나리오를 바탕으로 센서의 감지 확률, 감지시간과 감지시나리오 수의 각 항목마다 중요도를 부여하여 이동식 센서의 위치별 속도가 산출되도록 목적함수를 선정하였다. 또한 예상치 못한 누출사고에 대해 신뢰성 분석을 통해 제안방법의 타당성을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 추후 적용될 이동식 센서의 농도 데이터를 기반으로 누출원의 역추적에도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The characteristics of $H_2$ gas detection have been investigated using the Pt-MIS capacitor composed of the LPCVD nitride on the oxide. The flat band voltage shift is measured as 0.1 V in 1,000 ppm $H_2$ gas ambient and to be independent of Pt catalyst thickness. It is found that the flatband voltage shift is proportional to the hydrogen concentrations. The response and recovery time of Pt-MIS capacitor are 5 mins and 25 mins respectively. The samples of 30nm thick Pt revealed much higher sensitivity than that of 150nm samples. The samples of 150nm Pt showed that the flatband voltage shift of the device is due to the formation of the dipole layer of the adsorbed hydrogen atoms at the Pt-insulator interface.

For the protection of the local air quality and the global atmosphere, the emissions of trace species including nitric oxides (NO and NO$_2$) from gas turbines are regulated by local governments and by the International Civil Aviation Organization. In-situ measurements of such species are needed not only for the development of advanced low-emission combustion concepts but also for providing emissions data required for the sound assessment of the effects of the emissions on environment. We have been developing a laser absorption system that has a capability of simultaneous determination of NO and NO$_2$concentrations in the exhaust jets from aero gas turbines. A diode laser operating near 1.8 micrometer is used for the detection of NO while a separated visible tunable diode laser operating near 676 nanometers is used for NO$_2$. The sensitivities at elevated temperature conditions were determined for simulated gas mixtures heated up to 500K in a heated cell of a straight 0.5 m optical path. Sensitivity limits estimated as were 30 ppmv-m and 3.7 ppmv-m for NO and NO$_2$, respectively, at a typical exhaust gas temperature of 800K. Experiments using the simulated exhaust flows have proven that $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ vapor - both major combustion products - do not show any interference in the NO or NO$_2$ measurements. The measurement system has been applied to the NO/NO$_2$ measurements in NO and NO$_2$ doped real combustion gas jets issuing from a rectangular nozzle having 0.4 m optical path. The lower detection limits of the system were considerably decreased by using a multipass optical cell. A pair of off-axis parabola mirrors successfully suppressed the beam steering in the combustion gas jets by centralizing the fluctuating beam in sensor area of the detectors.

Hydrogen is a fuel of fuel cell system, which has powerful explosion possibility. Hence, the fuel cell system needs safety evaluation to prevent risk of hydrogen leakage. We use a actual size chamber of a common fuel cell module to analyze hydrogen. Hydrogen injection holes are located in lower part of the chamber in order to simulated hydrogen leakage. The hydrogen sensor can detect range of 0${\sim}$4%. Since the hydrogen gas, of which leaked amount is controled by MFC, are injected at the bottom holes, the transient sensor signals are measured. At a condition of 10cc/s of hydrogen leakage, the sensor detects hydrogen leakage after 22sec and there is also several seconds of time delay depending on the position of the sensor. This experimental data can be applied for the design of the hydrogen detection system and ventilation system of a residential fuel cell system.

A gas sensor which has been made by wet process had fabricated by coating each of the mixture on alumina tube and firing at 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs. A gas concentration such $H_2$, CO, $C_3H_8$, $C_2H_2$ and $CH_4$ vs its detection voltage characteristics has been in-vestigated on $SnO_2-In_2O_3-MgO$ system doped with PdO, $La_2O_3$, $ThO_2$, NiO and $Nb_2O_5$ The optimum sensitivity composition for various gases were 90w/o $SnO_2$-9w/o $In_2O_3$-1w/o MgO for $H_2$, $C_2H_2$ CO and $C_3H_8$ and 95w/o $SnO_2$-4w/o $In_2O_3$-1w/o MgO for $CH_4$. The sample which has been made by wet process than dry process had predominated sensitivity for each gases and particle size of the sample coprecipitated with PH=9 was 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ The $SnO_2$-In2_O_3-MgO$ system doped with 2w/o $Nb_2O_5$ and NiO was the most sensitive for $H_2$ and $C_2H_2$ gas. In $SnO_2$-In2_O_3-MgO$ system doped with $ThO_2$ the sensitivity of $H_2$ gas was decreased but CO gas was in-creased when dopant con was increased.
