Effects of chemical surface modification with diethoxydimethylsilane (DEMS) on the H-2 sensing properties of pure SnO2 and Pd/SnO2 as a varistor-type sensor have been investigated. The DEMS treatment resulted in an increase in the breakdown voltage, especially in air, and in an improvement in H-2 sensitivity for both SnO2 and Pd/SnO2 varistors. A.C. impedance measurement has revealed that variations in potential barrier height per grain boundary, V-gb, With H-2 concentration are well coincident with the breakdown voltage shift induced by the presence of H-2. Thus, it was confirmed that the improved H-2 sensitivity arose from the increased V-gb in air induced by the SiO2 thin film coating by the DEMS treatment. The limitation of neck growth between SnO2 particles by the SiO2 thin film coating is anticipated to be responsible for the increased V-gb. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
