Abstract

The purpose of this paper is a investigation of sensing mechanism for the carbon monoxide gas in CuO infiltrated ZnO ceramics. Potential barriers between CuO and ZnO can explain the selective sensing of carbon monoxide gas in the physically contacted CuO/ZnO ceramics. A specimen having no potential barrier between CuO and ZnO was prepared to see whether the gas sensing mechanism is related to the potential barrier. CuO and ZnO was prepared to see whether the gas sensing mechanism is related to the potential barrier. CuO was painted on the non electrode sides of ZnO ceramics. The CuO painted ZnO ceramics showed that the sensitivityfor the carbon moxnoxide gas was 1.3 times as high as that for the hydrogen gas. It is almost same gas sensitivity as that of the CuO infiltrated ZnO ceramics.
