Abstract

Y-zeolite was first modified by means of ions exchange with Al, Ca and Na, respectively. The modified materials were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Gas sensors were fabricated by SnO₂ and coating Y-zeolites on the outside of SnO₂ surface, respectively. It was found that the responses of the composites of all types of zeolite- and SnO₂-based sensors became lower comparing with that of the pure SnO₂-based one response of SnO₂ sensor to ethanol vapor. It indicates a suppression effect of zeolites on the response to ethanol vapor. In contrast, the response of the composite-sensing materials of the modified Y-zeolite/SnO₂-based sensors except the Ca-modified one to acetone indicates a significantly improved response, 2–3 times higher than that of pure SnO₂-based sensor which is smaller than the one of SnO₂ sensor. The possible mechanism of the effects of the Y-zeolites on the response of the sensors has been discussed.
