ABSTRACT
AuSmFe0.9Zn0.1O3 is synthesized by a sol-gel method and annealed at 750 °C. Through XRD, SEM and XPS analysis methods, the microstructure of the material has been observed. The average particle size is about 50 nm. The sensor shows a high sensitivity toward acetone vapor. As the relative humidity increases, the resistance and sensitivity of the sensor decline. To obtain a low optimum operating temperature, light illumination with different wavelengths has been introduced. The sensitivity toward acetone is improved at lower operating temperature when the sensor is irradiated by light. The smaller the wavelengths, the better the sensitivity of the sensor. Compared with other gases, the sensor shows excellent selectivity to acetone vapor, with better sensitivity, selectivity and stability when under light illumination.
