Figure 5

Acetone sensor with four electrical terminals in the housing. Two terminals are used to measure conductivity of the sensitive layer and the other two to heat the sensor to an operating temperature of about 450°C. In the figure, the ratio of conductivity G in the presence of acetone to conductivity in the clean air vs. the concentration of acetone in air is given. Functionalisation by palladium nanoparticles (bottom part) increases the sensitivity of the device.
