Nanostructured Oxide Thin Films for Gas Sensors

Abstract

The results of a study of the structure and electrical properties of nanocrystalline SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3 proton conducting thin films are presented. The relationship between the electrical transport and hydrogen partial pressure has been determined and correlated with microstructure. Nanostructured SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3 films possess greatly enhanced conductivity due to interfacial effects related to the influence of surfaces and grain boundaries. The opportunity to use these films for gas sensors is discussed and their characteristics are presented. © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
