Abstract

FET type CO2 sensor operative at room temperature was developed by combining with a metal carbonate auxiliary phase and metal oxide sensing electrode. In an attempt to lower the operating temperature and reduce the humidity dependence, the structure with Li2CO3-BaCO3(1:3)-ITO/Na+ exchange membrane/FET was fabricated. The resulting device exhibited fairly excellent CO2 sensing characteristics at room temperature (30°C), although the other devices failed to work at room temperature or suffered disturbance by humidity seriously. The V/sub GS/ for the best device obtained was linear to the logarithm of the CO2 concentration, with its slopes indicating n=2.0 of theoretical value where n is the number of reaction electrons involved in the electrochemical reduction per CO2. The times for 90% response and 90% recovery to switching-on and-off 3000 ppm CO2 were 1 and 2 min, respectively, and all of the response transients reproduced very well in the successive runs.
