Polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibers loaded with either palladium (II) acetate (PPy/Pd(O2CCH3)(2)) or palladium (II) nitrate (PPy/Pd(NO3)(2)) were characterized by TEM, SEM, EDX. Raman and FTIR techniques prior to their use as sensing materials for QCM based mercury vapor sensors. The QCM based sensor loaded with PPy/Pd(O2CCH3)(2) nanofibers was observed to perform better over that of the PPy/Pd(NO3)(2) loaded QCM and is postulated to be due to the lack of Pd salt reduction in the PPy/Pd(O2CCH3)(2) matrix. The developed sensor was observed to operate with a response precision of +/- 5% over a 16h testing period, and can withstand the presence of different levels of humidity at an operating temperature of 28 degrees C. Furthermore, the PPy/Pd(O2CCH3)(2) based sensor was found to have a response time (t(90)) of similar to 45 min towards a Hg vapor concentration of 10.55 mg/m(3) balanced in either dry nitrogen or in streams containing up to 38% RH at near room temperature (28 degrees C). The stability of the developed sensor over 50h of continuous testing towards Hg vapor under varying humidity levels indicates that a PPy/Pd(O2CCH3)(2) thin layer is a good choice for near room temperature Hg vapor sensing applications.
