Abstract
An organic compound Nickel (II) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (NiTSPc) has been studied as a potential material for a solution based temperature sensor. Using NiTSPc, an ITO/NiTSPc solution/ITO chemical cell has been made and characterized in the temperature range of 20–85 °C. This sensor works on the principle of change in the resistance and capacitance of the chemical cell caused by the temperature variation. Good response/recovery and small hysteresis have been attained. The proposed sensor is aimed to evolve towards highly sensitive organic temperature sensor in a specific temperature range.
