Abstract

Cobalt oxide spinel (Co3O4) with an ordered nanostructure is used as a resistive gas sensor for carbon monoxide (CO) in low ppm concentrations. The operating temperature has a strong impact on the concentration-dependent sensing behavior. At lower temperature (473 K) the sensor response is governed mainly by surface coverage with CO and/or CO2, whereas at higher temperature (563 K) oxygen diffusion in the crystal lattice of Co3O4 strongly affects the sensing behavior.
