A mixed potential type sensor based on NASICON (sodium super-ionic conductor) was designed for the detection of hydrogen. Two original ways were combined to promote the sensor's sensitivity. LaCrO3 was applied on Au reference electrode as H-2 oxidation layer to minimize the H-2 response on reference electrode. Additional NASICON layer was coated on Au sensing electrode serving as sensitive electrode for limiting the O-2 diffusion. H-2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) measurement was conducted to test the oxidizability of LaCrO3. The effect of O-2 concentration on sensor's sensitivity was discussed to verify the function of additional NASICON layer. The correlation between the thickness of additional NASICON diffusion layer and sensor's sensitivity was also studied. The research showed that the sensor attached with 0.3 mm thick additional NASICON layer exhibited the largest sensitivity to 100-5000 ppm H-2 at 400 degrees C, the slope was -123 mV/decade. In addition, the sensor exhibited excellent selectivity to H-2 against the other interference gases, such as CO, NO2, NH3, C7H8, C2H4, CH2O, C3H6O and CH4. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
