초산발효 중 에탄올 농도를 On-line으로 측정하기 위해 막가스 센서를 개발하였다. 에탄올이 함유된 발효액은 실리콘막을 통해 투과되고 Carrier gas로 사용된 Synthetic air에 의해 운반되어 반도체형 가 스센서에 감지되도록 설계하였다. 이 때 실리콘막의 두께가 O.5mm이고 Carrier gas의 유속이 20ml/mim이었을 때 막가스 센서의 감도가 가장 높았다. 막가스센셔의 저항치는 측정하고자 하는 에탄올 농 도에 따라 변하였고 이 저항치는 전위차로 변환되어 출력되었다. 제작된 막가스센서의 Calibration CUf ve를 작성하였고 실제로 조업 중인 초산 발효조의 발효액 중 에단올 농도의 On-line 측정이 가능하였 으며 이를 Gas chromatography에 의한 분석치와 비교한 결과 에단올 농도가 $0∼70g/\ell$의 범위에서 서로 상관관계를 나타내어 이러한 막가스센서가 초산발효와 같은 여러 생물공정의 모니터링과 제어에 이용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

스크린 프린팅 기술을 이용하여 일회용 에탄올 센서를 개발하고 전기화학적 방법으로 그 성능을 조사하였다. 일회용 에탄올 센서는 폴리에스테르 기질 위에 탄소와 은 반죽 그리고 절연체 잉크로 작업 및 기준전극의 감응부위와 전기적 접촉부위의 형상을 차례로 인쇄한 후 알코올탈수소효소(ADH) 또는 알코올산화효소(AOD)를 알려진 전자전달 매개체(mediator)와 함께 작업전극에 고정시켜 제작하였다. 일회용 센서의 제작 과정에서 감응도와 재현성을 높이기 위하여 프린팅한 탄소 작업전극을 전처리 하는 몇 가지 방법들을 적용하고 그 결과들을 비교하였다. 제작된 일회용 센서는 소량의 혈액시료로 음주측정을 하는데, 그리고 발효공정 제어 등에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Highly sensitive thick film ethanol gas sensors based on a nanocrystalline $In_{2}O_{3}$ were fabricated by painting method on alumina substrates. The crystal structure of the $In_{2}O_{3}$ powder was characterised by XRD analysis. The microstructure of the films were characterised using FE-SEM. The experimental results of the ethanol gas sensing characteristics indicated that the undoped $In_{2}O_{3}$ thick film has a high sensitivity. The sensitivity of the film heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. was as high as 32.73 at an operating temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ to 1000 ppm ethanol gas in air.

The polypyrrole and polyaniline thin film sensors which were made by chemical polymerization were employed to detect ethanol gas. With a single sensor element we can obtain characteristic patterns of behaviour across a very wide frequency range when measuring either resistance or capacitance. Impedance spectroscopy was employed to study the gas sensing behavior of both capacitance and resistance based sensors with conducting polymer as the active sensing element.

ZnO nanotubes were synthesized to investigate the effect of wall thickness on the ethanol gas sensing performance. The wall thickness of the nanotubes was varied from approximately 20 to 60 nm. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and SAED (Selected Area Electron Beam Diffraction) analyses showed that the synthesized nanotubes were polycrystalline structured ZnO with the diameter of approximately 200-300nm. The ZnO nanotubes sensor with an optimum wall thickness of 51.8nm showed approximately 8 times higher response, compared to that with 21.14nm wall thick nanotubes, to the ethanol concentration of 500 ppm at the temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. The wall thickness of 51.8nm was found to be a little larger than 46nm, which was theoretically derived Debye length. Along with the study of the wall thickness effect on the performance of the sensors, the mechanisms of gas sensing of the polycrystalline ZnO nanotubes are also discussed.

In order to investigate the effect of NiO on the ethanol gas sensing performance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, NiO and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. The sensor with ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and NiO nanoparticles mixed at an optimum ratio of 7:3 showed 3.8 times improved sensing performance for 200ppm ethanol gas at $200^{\circ}C$. The enhanced gas sensing performance can be considered to be caused by pn heterojunction at the grain boundaries of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and NiO nanopartcles.

NiO nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method for the application to ethanol gas sensor. They were composited with $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles to improve the sensitivity to ethanol gas. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the synthesized NiO nanoparticles were plate-shaped with the approximate size and thickness of 60 - 120 nm and 20 nm, respectively. On the other hand, $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles mixed with NiO was observed to be spherical with the size range of 30 - 50 nm. The sensitivities of NiO sensors composited with $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles at an optimal ratio of 8 : 2 were enhanced to approximately 1.44 - 1.79 times as high as those of as-synthesized NiO sensors for the ethanol concentration of 10 - 200 ppm at $200^{\circ}C$. The mechanism of the improved ethanol gas sensing of the NiO sensors composited with $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles was discussed.

We have investigated the sensing properties of ethanol gas sensor with pure ZnO and Ga-doped ZnO nanowires on Au coated (0001) sapphire substrates grown by hot walled pulsed laser deposition. Randomly aligned ZnO nanowires arrays were grown on a Au-electrode patterned under ambient conditions. ZnO nanowires have various sizes and shapes with a different substrate position inside a furnace. The average of length and diameter of the ZnO nanowires were $8\;{\mu}m$ and 100 nm respectively, and confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Sensitivity chanege characterization of the gas sensor was found that measured sensitivities of the ethanol gas sensors were 83.3% and 68.3% at $300^{\circ}C$ respectively.

알코올 함량을 보다 신속하고 정확하게 측정하고자, 알코올 센서를 사용하였다. Alcohol oxidase를 glutaraldehyde로 nylon net에 고정화시킨 다음 산소전극에 연결하여 기질과의 반응에서 소모되는 용존산소 소비량의 변화를 용존산소측정기로 측정하여 알코올을 정량하였다. 알코올 센서의 최적조건에서 시판되는 각종 주류를 측정해 본 결과, 각각 맥주는 $4{\sim}5%$, 저알코올성 음료는 0.71%, 포도주는 10.06%, 청주는 16.12%, 소주는 25.71%, 탁주는 6.18%로 정량되었으며, 이는 가스 크로마토그래피로 측정한 값과 좋은 상관관계를 가졌다.

Thin film ethanol sensors made from ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ decorated with multiwall carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) were manufactured by the electron beam deposition method. The morphology of the decorated ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$/MWCNTs (25:1 weight ratios) nanocomposite powder was investigated using the scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The thickness of thin films has been determined from ellipsometric measurements. The response of manufactured sensors was investigated at different temperatures of the sensor work body and concentration of gas vapors. Good response of prepared sensors to ethanol vapors already at work body temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ was shown.
