A potentiometric CO2 gas sensor based on Li3PO4 film with the thickness of 0.8 mu m prepared by thermal evaporation method was developed. Au thin film with the thickness of 400 nm deposited by sputtering method was used as the metal electrodes of the sensor. Li2CO3 and Li2TiO3 with 10 mol. % TiO2 were used as the sensing and reference electrodes by screen printing the materials on the Au thin film electrodes, respectively. Response characteristics of the sensor to CO2 in the range of 250 ppm to 5000 ppm at different working temperatures were investigated. The electromotive force (EMF) values of the sensor were linearly dependent on logarithm of CO2 partial pressure at the temperatures between 420 degrees C and 530 degrees C. Dependence of response and recovery time, initial EMF, Delta EMF/dec on working temperature was presented. It can be found that the response time and recovery time reduced with the enhancement of working temperature and gradually reached to the limit when the temperature is above 500 degrees C. However, the maximum Delta EMF/dec value was obtained at the temperature of 440 degrees C. The dependence of Delta EMF/dec on working temperature was newly found and different from previous research. The results suggest potential use of thin film metal electrodes in solid electrolyte gas sensors for lower temperature and miniature applications. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
