A new type enzyme sensor for the determination of alcohol was fabricated by coating a platinized electrode with a electroconductive ADH (Alcohol dehydrogenase) film, in which ADH, NAD, and Meldola's blue were co-immobilized. Alcohol as low as 5×10-5 mol・dm-3 was determined with the sensor. By taking advantages of a platinized electrode and an electron transfer system, high sensitivity and wide dynamic range were obtained. The sensor characteristics were investigated in connection with effective electron transfer in the sensing unit.

An amperometric alcohol sensor based on co-immobilized alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) was developed and evaluated. Various factors for the sensor membrane, such as the membrane thickness and crosslinking regent concentration, were determined, then an ADH-immobilized sensor was fabricated. By employing a denser BSA membrane on the co-immobilized membrane of ADH and NAD+, sensor responses for ethanol were observed.

Direct electron transfer between flavin cofactors and a gold electrode has been obtained when glucose oxidase was immobilized in poly (N-methylpyrrole) electrochemically prepared on the gold electrode. When electropolymerization was accomplished at 50℃, cyclic voltammogram showed, after addition of glucose, an increasing oxidation peak at approximately -0.45 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode. This potential corresponds to the oxidation potential for FADH2. Although the specificity of glucose oxidase was affected, glucose-dependent current response was obtained.

We have investigated the allergic reaction with rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells and a basalplane pyrolytic graphite (BPG) electrode. Addition of the appropriate allergen to the stimulated RBL-1 cells causes degranulation, thereby releasing histamine and serotonin. In this investigation, the allergy sensor cosisting of a liquid membrane type ammonia electrode and enzyme has been developed for the determination of released histamine. The response time of the sensor system was 7-9 min. A linear relationship was obtained between the potential decrease of the sensor and the histamine concentration in the range of 0.01-1 mM.

We have already reported that the Enzyme Embodied Electrode (EEE) Sensor, which is fabricated by an immobilization of enzyme on platinized platinum surface, can also be applied to cholesterol sensing , other than glucose sensing. To this end we have fabricated EEE sensors immobilizing three different types of cholesterol oxidase on a platinum surface of 100 μm in diameter. The response characteristic largely depends on the type of the enzyme. The highest sensitivity was observed on the cholesterol sensor fabricated by using Toyo Jozo Enzyme T-19, exhibiting a sensitivity of 0.5 nA at 13 μM in phosphate buffer solution with 0.1% Triton X-100. The dynamic range was from 0.52 to 52 μM.

In order to decrease non-specific response of EEE sensors to saccarides and/or ascorbate, we have tried to de-activate platinized platinum surface by gaseous oxidation in air at 70-200℃. Those heated above 100℃ gave negligible current to saccarides, while appreciable decrease in current response was observed to ascorbate. Glucose sensor fabricated by immobilization of glucose oxidase or the oxidized surface gave little response to saccarides other than glucose. Response to ascorbate relative to that of glucose was remarkably smaller than those fabricated on the as-deposited platinized platinum electrode.

Fructosedehydrogenase (FDH, EC 1.1.99.11) was immobilized behind a dialysis membrane on a carbon paste electrode. The FDH-modified electrode could oxidize D-fructose electro-enzymically in the presence of artificial electron acceptors such as p-benzoquinone, BQ, in which the electron acceptors functioned as mediators of electron transfer between the electrode and the immobilized enzyme. When BQ was mixed in the carbon paste, the BQ containing carbon paste electrode carrying immobilized FDH served as a reagentless fructose sensor which was stable for more than a week. Some characteristics of the fructose sensor were studied.

The response of amperometric biosensors carrying an enzyme monomolecular layer was studied with the digital simulation method on a 1-dimensional semiinfinite diffusion model including surface catalytic and electrode reactions. The simulation showed that the diffusion of the substrates to the surface was fast relative to the enzymatic reaction and that the sensor response strongly depended on the electrode kinetics. The simulated results were compared with experimentally obtained results for the previously reported sensors.

The responsive properties of a tobacco leaf (Nicotiana tabacum "Xanthi nc") to benzyl acetate (BA) were investigated. A flow system for the quantitative supply of odour compounds was developed using a diffusion tube. Acutual concentration of odour in the reaction gas was checked by gas chromatography. A sample leaf showed a characteristic pattern in response to 100% CO2 gas as detected with a microelectrode. When CO2 gas containing BA. Was supplied on the leaf, the response was suppressed. This suppression effect was observed in the range of 3.8〜9.8 ppb of BA. It was also suggested that the suppression effect did not completely disappear within 2 hr.

A novel calorimetric biosensing with use of an apoenzyme sensor is proposed for flow-injection microdetermination of zinc(II) ions. The biosensing system was assembled with the immobilized alkaline phosphatase reactor and a thermistor device for monitoring of the enzymatic activity. Zinc(II) ions were calorimetrically determined in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 mM through its activation of the immobilized metal-free alkaline phosphatase(apoenzyme) reactor. The activity of the reactor was assessed by injecting a 0.1 mL of 100 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate solution and then the heat evolved in the hydrolytic reaction was measured. Regeneration of the reactor was made by pumping 20 mM 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylate solution (pH 6.0).

A comparison of the response characteristics of an optical ion sensor and an electrochemical ion sensor (potentiometric ion-selective electrode) based on valinomycin as a potassium ion-selective neutral ionophore was investigated. Though the ion selectivities of both sensors were almost the same, the optical sensor based on an absorbance change was able to be designed and prepared with a higher sensitivity in comparison to the electrochemical sensor. Other important characteristics for sensor response were experimentally and theoretically discussed.

A cyclicvoltammogram was measured in an electrolyte with and without a reducible species (Oxd1) having the same UV absorption wave length that an aqueous chlorine at a porous carbon electrode coated with RuO2. The probable potential range of an electrochemical quantitative analysis of a dissolved chlorine was determined to be ca. 0.50-ca. 0.80 V vs. 3.3 mol・dm-3 KCl/AgCl/Ag. At a potential in the region, using a sensor constructed by us, into which an electrolyte containing chlorine with and without Oxd1 was flowed, the detected current was proportional to the concentration of a dissolved chlorine irrespectively of the inclusion of Oxd1.

Two electrode system has been used in the current electrode method of measuring oxygen permeability of polymer membranes. This leads to a large error in the case of samples with large permeability because of large iR drop between the two electrodes. Further the lateral diffusion of oxygen from the anterior sample surface outside the electrode area contributes to the cathodic current and results in an overestimation (idge effect). In the present paper, it was attempted to solve these problems using a three electrodes system and a supporting screen on the anterior sample surface.

An ISFET glucose sensor for serum sample measurement without dilution was fabricated and discussed. An ISFET glucose sensor, whose enzyme membrane has a certain buffer capacity around pH 7.5 and a restrict permeable membrane covering an enzyme membrane, was realized. As a restrict permeable membrane, an albumin crosslinking membrane was selected, because it has good properties in restricted permeability and adhesion with an enzyme membrane. A good linear relationship between glucose concentration and sensor response was obtained in the range from 90 to 430 mg/dl.

We have demonstrated that as an effective and simple potentiometric sensor for detecting human IgG. The immuno-ISFET sensor was constructed using as immobilized human IgG membrane and a ISFET. The assay procedure involves the competitive immuno-chemical reaction of urease labeled anti-human IgG with human IgG in samples and the membrane bound IgG and the electrochemical determination of membrane bound urease activity. The analytical result is directly displayed by the output voltage of the sensor.
In this study, a linear relationship was obtained between the response and the human IgG concentration from 0.1-2.0 mg/ml. The response of ISFET with the membrane was kept for two weeks.

A compact carbon dioxide gas sensor probe was fabricated with lithium titanium phosphate and calcium carbonate- calcium oxide mixture as a solid electrolyte and a solid reference electrode, respectively. Lithium carbonate pellet was fixed on both surface of the electrolyte. The reference CO2 gas concentration was determined from the calculation of the standard Gibbs' free energy change for the dissociation of CaCO3 into CaO and CO2. The probe could detect the CO2 gas continuously with a rapid response. A good accordance between the measured and the calculated EMF from the Nernst's equation was obtained in the CO2 gas concentration range from 233 ppm to 1330 ppm.

An amperometric solid-state oxygen sensor using a proton-conductor thick-film was investigated as an approach to miniaturized and integrated oxygen sensor operative at room temperature. The thick-film was formed on a porous alumina substrate by a spin-coating method. The sensor element had a laminated-type structure: (counter Pt electrode | proton-conductor thick-film | sensing Pt electrode, gas-diffusion layer). At an applied voltage of 1.6 V, a limiting current, controlled by the rate of oxygen permeation through the gas diffusion layer, increased linearly with an increase in oxygen partial pressure in the sample gas. The 90% response time was about 40 s at room temperature. Furthermore, when the element was coated with a sensor using a hydrophobic gas-diffusion layer based on a polystyrene binder, the limiting current was linear to the dissolved oxygen concentration in water up to 20 ppm at 30℃.

A planar-type oxygen sensor using a NAFION thick-film was developed for monitoring the oxygen partial pressure at ambient temperature. The NAFION thick-film was formed on an alumina substrate, and on top of it the counter Au electrode and the sensing Pt electrode were deposited, leaving a space 0.5 mm in between, by means of RF sputtering. No reference gas flow was necessary for this sensor. The e. m. f. and the short-circuit current of the sensor were found to vary logarithmically and almost linearly, respectively, with the oxygen partial pressure at 25℃. The 90% response time in amperometric sensing was about 1 min during increasing oxygen partial pressure.

In this paper a potentiometric sensing with metal gate type FET is reported and discussed the possibilities of a new type of gas sensor operating at room temperature. The Metal Nitride Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor (MNOSFET) is fabricated by using conventional bipolar and MOS monolithic IC processes, electrically protected well from solutions. A differential configuration of a platinum gate MNOSFET and gold gate MNOSFET can be a sensing system, operating at room temperature, without saturated KCl reference electrode. A oxygen sensor consists of a dual MNOSFET, coated with a polymeric gel and covered with a gas permeable membrane. Differential output voltage of about 160 mV is obtained with nonlinearity from 0.01 to 1.0 of oxygen partial pressure. The response times of the sensor upon an increase and a decrease in oxygen partial pressure are approximately 30 sec. and 2 min., respectively.

Adsorption behavior of NOx on SnO2 and Pd-SnO2 was investigated under various conditions by means of a temperature programmed desorption (TPD) technique. The effects of NOx adsorbates on the electrical resistivity of SnO2 and Pd-SnO2 were also investigated. TPD experiments revealed that both NO on heating. In addition, electrical resistivity measurements coupled with NO pulse injection at 100℃ suggested the existence of a quick, reversible NO adsorption which decreased the electrical resistance. The addition of Pd to SnO2 influenced markedly the amounts of these adsorbates through the electronic interaction between Pd and SnO2.

Gas sensing characteristics of YBa2Cu3O7-y and related compounds having oxygen deficient triperovskite structure are investigated. These compounds with larger y like YBa2Cu3O6 obtained by quenching into liquid N2 or annealing in N2 at 650℃ are semiconducting and change their resistivity by NO and NO2. Larger and faster response of resistivity changes by NO takes place at 150-200℃. Substitution of Y on A-site by La and Cu on B-site by Co in 20% in YBa2Cu3O7-y causes high sensitivity. The effect of sensitizer is also investigated to obtain higher sensitivity.

TANDEM CHEMICAL SENSORS

Simon. Middelhoek

Delft University of Technology

P. O. Box 5031, Delft, The Netherlands

For many applications low-cost miniature sensors are needed for in-line control of chemical substances. Possible candidates, like the ISFET and the Pd-gate FET have been studied for almost twenty years, but up to now this has not led to commercially successful devices. This probably is caused by the fact that the action of a FET is based on the large sensitivity of silicon surfaces to electrical fields, and that in a FET based chemosensor the same surface have to be also exposed to the chemical measurand.
In contrast to direct sensors, in a tandem sensor the transducing elements are not in contact with the chemical measurand and, therefore, such devices stand a larger chance of leading to satisfactory chemical sensors. This is illustrated with a few examples.

An attempt has been made to detect freshness of squid by nine kinds of semiconductor gas sensors; Ru/TiO2, Pt/TiO2, Rh/TiO2, Au/TiO2, In/TiO2, Mg2+-doped In2O3, W6+-doped Nb2O5, Ti4+-doped Cr2O3, Ru/Ti4+-doped Cr2O3. Electrical resistance of all the sensor elements well responded to the deterioration of squid after death, and the resistance change became large at the time of strong evolution of bad smell. Among the sensors examined, Ru/TiO2+ exhibited the earliest and highest response to the smell. Thus, the present results suggested that the semiconductor gas sensor method is promising to detect the freshness of squid which cannot be detected by the usual K-value method.

Generally speaking, gas sensors of the catalytic combustion type have acceptable levels of sensitivity, including functional linearity to a wide range of gas concentration. Moreover sensitivity is reliable under changing environmental conditions. In contrast, their sensitivity to diluted concentrations of gas is considered poor. An improved version of this kind of sensor, capable of detecting the presence of carbon-monoxide while retaining its selective-sensing capability, has been developed. This type of sensor displaces only a small quantity of power and has a wide range of applications, including complete combustion alarms, portable carbon-monoxide detectors and smoke detectors.

It has been found that apparent in-plane resistance of Pt/TiO2 composite films is sensitive to oxygen gas at temperatures higher than 130℃. Measurement of in-plane potential distribution across the film has shown that there are oxygen-sensitive high resistance region underneath two metal electrodes. According to an ESCA depth profile, the high resistance is originated from the heterogenous film structure composed of Pt/TiO2 granular metal and the highly resistive surface TiO2 layer. It has also been observed that the response time of the sample is improved very much by thermal treatment in hydrogen atmosphere.

An air-fuel ratio sensor has been developed. The sensor consists of two detective parts and a heating part. One of the detective parts is a limiting current-type oxygen sensor for detecting lean air-fuel ratios and the other is a resistive-type oxygen sensor for detecting the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The whole sensor has such a simple structure that both detective parts and the heating part are fabricated on a porous substrate by a thin film technique. The outputs from the detective parts are converted to a single output by an external electric circuit.

Direct measurement of N2 adsorption onto porous Al2O3 films was examined with a quartz crystal microbalance at 77 K. Nitrogen adsorption led to the change in resonant frequency (ΔF) of the Al2O3 coated quartz crystal. A cumulative plot of ΔF at the relative pressure corresponds to the N2 adsorption isotherm, from which pore size distribution and surface area of the Al2O3 thin films (ca. 0.1 mg) were successfully obtained.

NEW TYPE GAS SENSOR USING TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS OF PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTAL

Department of Materials Science and Technology, Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, Kyushu University
Kasuga-shi, Fukuoke 816, Japan

A new type quartz piezoelectric sensor coated with a sputtered Pt (or Pd) film was proposed for the detection of inflammable gases such as H2 and CO in air. The sensing signal of the new sensor is provided by an increase in resonance frequency of the crystal (ΔF) due to a temperature increase upon contact with the sample gas. The frequency change of the sensor was found to be opposite in direction to that of the conventional adsorption-type piezoelectric sensor.
The temperature change of the present sensor resulted from the oxidation of the inflammable gas on the surface of the catalyst film. A linear dependence between ΔF and H2 concentration (0-0.4 vol%) was observed at 140℃. The sensitivity of the sensor to H2 in air increased sharply with increasing temperature in the range from ca. 50℃ to 400℃.

The visible-light absorption of a Co3O4 thin film was found to change with the concentration of CO contained in air at temperatures above 100℃. At temperatures above 200℃ where the catalytic oxidation of CO took place, this absorption change occurred reversibly and was proved to be applicable to the optical detection of combustible gases.

Micro-bridge type absolute humidity sensor was fabricated on silicon wafer by micromachining techniques. It has two micro-bridges for sensor and reference which are enclosed in each cavity formed between the substrate and the cap. Low thermal capacitance of the micro-bridge realized high sensitivity by high temperature operation and rapid response to humidity change.

The thin film of poly (methyl methacrylate) was examined to fabricate the capacitive-type humidity sensor without any apparent hysteresis. The amount of sorbed water of PMMA was about 1/3 of cellulose acetate butyrate and the humidity dependence of capacitance was also low. The degree of hysteresis for PMMA was small compared with that for CAB. The temperature coefficient of sensitivity was hardly influenced by sorbing water, though the capacitance at a certain relative humidity increased with increasing the temperature. This is due to the temperature dependence of permittivity of PMMA itself.

A humidity sensor was prepared using a microporous polyethylene film grafted with quaternized vinylpyridine. The impedance of the device is lower when the films of higher grafting ratio were used. The impedance of the film depends on the counter anion of the pyridinium group, according to the order Cl- < Br- < I-. The films of higher grafting ratio adsorb more water vapor than those of lower grafting ratio. The parallel resistance RP, which was estimated by complex impedance analysis, also depends on the species of counter ion, according to the order Cl- < Br- < I-, when the films containing the same amount of water were compared. The sensor thus developed is water resistive and its response time is very short.

Humidity-sensitive characteristics in electrical resistivity of the thick film elements with the main component PbCrO4 are different between mixed oxides. The various microstructures depending on the mixed oxides were observed by SEM figure on the surface of the sintered body with the same composition as the thick film element.
In the film elements mixed with copper oxide CuO, the same microstructure as the surface of sintered body was obtained SEM observation.
Here the results of humidity-sensitive characteristics and microstructures in thick film elements examined for the various mixing ratio of cupric oxide CuO to PbCrO4 are reported.

EFFECT OF HUMIDITY ON ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF SINTERED RARE-EARTH OXIDES

Electrical properties of rare-earth (Ln) oxides were investigated by using complex impedance measurements with various relative humidities. The impedance of rare-earth (Ln= Y, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy) sesquioxides (Ln2O3) having insulating properties decreases exponentially with increasing relative humidities owing to ionic conductivity. The results of complex impedance plots suggested that the impedance decrease of Ln2O3 with increasing relative humidities depends on bulk resistance decreases owing to increasing absorbed water. On the other hand, for non-stoichometric rare-earth oxides (Pr6O11), the conduction is mainly due to electronic conductivity explained in terms of the hopping mechanism in the low humidity region, and in high one there are both some contribution from electronic conductivity and major one from ionic conductivity.
