A coulometric ozone sensor using a porous carbon felt as electrode, and using an electrolyte consists of iodine redox mediator was investigated to get a simple and low-costed sensor. At first, the experimental was carried out using iodine solution as the sample, and we obtained that the current efficiency decreased apparently when the iodine concentration was lower than 0.0001 [N]. So, we compensated the results using the current efficiency when we measured the ozone water, and we obtained the good relation between the indigo method from 0.1 ppm to 2.0 ppm. Another sensor, an amperometric ozone sensor using the carbon felt and redox mediator, that the applied sensor of the coulometric sensor was investigated, too. In this sensor, current was good relation between the indigo method from 0.1 ppm to 1.5 ppm.

An amperometric ozone sensor using porous was fabricated to measure 1-1000 ppb level dissolved ozone, and the response characteristics were investigated. This sensor consists of carbon felt working electrode, Ag wire counter electrode, electrolyte (IN-KCL) and PTFE membrane. The currents obtained by the reduction of ozone were in proportion to analytical data obtained by indigo method in the very wide concentration range from 5 ppb to 800 ppb within 10% of relative standard deviation and the detection limit was determined to be about 1 ppb. The response time of this sensor is 5-15 minutes. The current response of ozone is not decreased for at least 5 months and the present device would be useful one as an on-line sensor for monitoring in a variety of scientific fields.

Electrochemical behavior at interdigitated microelectrode arrays (IDA) were investigated in two configurations: series and parallel with respect to the flow axis. Anodic current response at IDA in series configuration was amplified 4 times compared to that of a dual rectangular electrode (DRE) by redox cycling. Amperometric responses at these electrodes were in good agreement with those of theoretical prediction and dependent on the cubic root of the flow rate. Anodic currents were proportional to the concentration of (ferrocenylmethyl) trimethyl ammonium ion (FA+) from 10-8 to 10-5 M. Current response at IDA in parallel configuration showed the steady-state current by redox cycling between the adjacent electrodes and was independent to the flow rate.

An Amperometric glucose-sensing electrode is constructed by the use of a carbon paste containing a polyethylene glycol-attached glucose oxidase and 1,1'-dimethyl ferrocene. The polymer-modified enzyme is soluble in organic solvents (e.g., n-hexane) as well as in water, and exhibits much higher activity than native enzyme on the surface of hydrophobic carbon paste electrode. The higher enzyme activity results in an enhanced electrode response: the current response for glucose on the modified enzyme-based electrode is 3-4 times as large as that obtained on a native enzyme-based electrode. A linear relationship between the current response and the glucose concentration is obtained in the range of 0.1-10 mM on the modified enzyme-based electrode.

The needle type titanium oxide glucose sensor has already developed. However, the property of the base oxygen electrode was insufficient. The surface of the base electrode has been modified with platinum to improve the performance. It has been suggested that the oxygen reduction reaction preferentially proceeded on the platinum site. The applied potential for the oxygen electrode system became nobler than the former type. The glucose sensor based on the platinum modified titanium oxide electrode responded to the glucose concentration up to about 0.5 g dm-3 within 30 seconds. The response property of the sensor was almost constant for 10 days.

A heme peptide-modified electrode was investigated as an interference-based amperometric sensor for imidazole derivatives. Heme nonapeptide as a peroxidase model was covalently immobilized on a tin (IV) oxide electrode to obtain a peroxidase model electrode, which catalyzed electrochemical reduction of H2O2 without mediator at +150 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The current for H2O2 reduction is inhibited by a strong ligand for heme. Such ligands, either charged or neutral, can thus be sensed amperometrically in the presence of H2O2. The response was completed in a few seconds. This electrode exhibited a selectivity sequence Im ≧ 1-MeIm > 4-MeIm ≧ histamine > histidine > SCN- > I- ≧ salicylate ≧ NO2- ≧ ClO4-, and did not respond to 2-MeIm, Br-, Cl-, MeOH and EtOH.

Voltammetric behavior of dopamine (DA) at carbon fiber electrodes has been investigated in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) in saline buffer (pH 7.2). Two different electrochemical pretreatments (ECP), "mild" and "strong" ones, were employed. The "mild" ECP (four potential sweep cycles between -0.3 and 2.0 ) made it possible to show clearly the differential pulse wave of 1μM DA in the presence of 0.1 mM AA. DA has been found to adsorb strongly to the carbon fiber electrodes with "strong" ECP (four potential seep cycles between -0.3 and 2.5 V) and it was shown that AA affects little either on the differential pulse voltammograms or on the chronochoulograms for adsorbed DA.

A disposable hypoxanthine sensor by pulse voltammetric technique was investigated. The technique is a direct measurement method without resorting to dilution of sample and stirring. The hypoxanthine concentration can be determined with trace droplet of a sample (5μl) on the electrode. The sensor was fabricated by coating gold electrodes with a carboxymethyl cellulose containing a xanthine oxidase and potassium ferricyanide as an electron transfer mediator. The relative standard deviation is 8.5% (n= 8) and the response is linear up to 1×10-3M.

It has been already reported that the peak current of EEE sensor in a flow injection analyzer decreases with an increase in the flow rate, although the peak current normally increases by an electrochemical detector, Steady response of EEE sensor was measured in a steady flow of a glucose solution to elucidate this peculiar phenomenon. It was found that the steady current was almost independent of the flow rate and the decrease of the peak current was interpreted as a result of a decrease in a contact time of the injected sample solution with the electrode. Simulated experiment of cathodic reduction of potassium ferricyanide on a platinum black electrode in a flow cell was carried out and little dependence was found for the steady cathodic current on the flow rate. It has been concluded that boundary layer diffusion does not limit the steady current by EEE sensor because of the geometric structure of the platinum black electrode.

A new gas sensor for alcohol based on electroconductive ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) membrane coated electrode was developed. This sensor was fabricated by co-immobilizing ADH, and an electron mediator (Meldola blue) in a conductive polymer, and by covering the sensor with a gas permeable membrane (Fig.1). Alcohol was determined by the oxidation current of the mediator in the ADH-NAD-mediator electron transferring system of the conductive polymer. The alcohol sensor was applied for the detection of not only liquid phase alcohol but also gaseous alcohol by employing a gas permeable membrane. In this research, we showed the fabrication technique of the alcohol gas sensor by employing the electron transferring system covered with a gas permeable membrane, and the its characteristics.

Chemoautotrophic and aerobic bacterium Thiobacillus thioparus TK-m, which has sulfite oxidation pathways, was used for the development of sulfite ion sensor. The sensor consists of an oxygen electrode and T. thioparus immobilized between two nitrocellulose membranes. Since T. thioparus could not be cultivated in the medium containing sulfite as sulfur source, T. thioparus grown in the thiosulfate containing medium was used for the experiment. The selectivity for sulfite was gradually increased during the use as sulfite sensor. After 6 days, the response to thiosulfate became approximately 10% of that of sulfite.
When the sensor was applied to the sulfite determination in batch system, calibration curve showed the linearity in the concentration range between 4μM and 280μM.

A novel biosensing with use of an immobilized apoenzyme is proposed for flow-injection calorimetric determination of cobalt (II) ions. The system was assembled with a column containing immobilized alkaline phosphatase beads and a thermistor device for monitoring the enzymatic activity. Cobalt (II) ions were calorimetrically determined in the range of 0.04 to 1.0 mM through its activation of the immobilized metal-free alkaline phosphatase (apoenzyme) column. The activity of the column 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 miasured. The column was regenerated by pumping 40 mM 2, 6-pyridine dicarboxylate solution (pH 6.0).

A new type piezoelectric crystal sensor coated with a sputtered noble metal catalyst film was developed for the detection of inflammable gases in the temperature range 100-400℃. Among the various coating films tested, sputtered Pt-Ir alloy film (Ir content: 27-36 at%) gave the best sensing performance with high gas sensitivity and high resistance to interference by coexisting water vapor. The replacement of an AT-cut quartz crystal by a Y-cut crystal having larger temperature coefficients of resonant frequency was found to be quite effective to increase the gas sensitivity of the sensor.

Oxide capacitor consisting of BaTiO3 and an oxide is studied as a new type CO2 sensor based on the capacitance change. In our previous study, it is found that CuO-BaTiO3 is highly sensitive to CO2. The optimum operating temperature on CuO-BaTiO3 is 729 K, and the eighty percent response time to 2% CO2 is within 25 seconds. The equimolar mixture of CuO and BaTiO3 can distinguish the CO2 concentration from 100 to 60000 ppm. Carbonation of CuO in element elevates the height of potential barrier. The capacitance increase of CuO-BaTiO3 by exposure to CO2 seems to result from the elevated height of potential barrier at the grain boundary between CuO and BaTiO3.

The detection of C2H2 gas is attracting attention as a judgment for the condition of isolation oil used in a transformer or a power cable. An useful electrochemical sensor was studied and the optimum condition was discussed. The sensor used is based on the measurement of the current when C2H2 is electrochemically oxidized at gas diffusion electrodes. The sensor using a gold working electrode shows better selectivity of C2H2 than a platinum one. Under optimum condition, the influence of H2, CO and C2H4 on C2H2 determination were less than 0.6%. Good linear relationship was obtained between the oxidation current and the concentration of C2H2 in low concentration region.

Effect of acetic acid vapor on the electrical conductivity of poly (N,N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate) (P-DMAEM) films was investigated. Linear relationship was obtained between the change on conductivity and the vapor concentration of acetic acid. At low concentration of acetic acid vapor, Henry's law can be applied, while at high concentration Freundlich type sorption is applicable. In addition, the change of conductivity became larger when water vapor coexists with acetic acid vapor because of the increment of dissociation constant of acetic acid by the sorption of water in P-DMAEM.

An interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) film composed of hydrophilic HMPTAC polymer and hydrophobic EGDMA polymer was prepared on the alumina substrate with interdigitated gold electrodes to fabricate a humidity sensor. The impedance of this sensor changed about 5 orders of magnitude in the whole humidity range and the sensitivity was almost the same as that of HMPTAC homopolymer sensor. This sensor was more water resistive than those using melamine resin or HEMA polymer as a hydrophobic polymer which were reported previously.

Phosphate coating is widely used as paint base for automobile and for lubrication of cold forming. We found that the phosphate coating has a good humidity sensitivity. The characteristic of humidity sensor can be changed by its coating weight . The thin coating shows the humidity-typed characteristic, and its impedance in common logarithm decreases linealy to the relative humidity. While the thick coating shows the dew-typed characteristic. The conduction mechanism of this sensor will be caused by diffusion of proton in absorbed water.

New type of gas sensing device called Spiral Monoelectrode Device (SMED) was developed using YSZ or Bi2O3-based oxides as a solid electrolyte and its gas sensing function was investigated under various conditions. When dc current was sent to SMED at high temperature and the test gas was changed, its terminal voltage changed in response to the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas. When a test gas was injected to a carrier gas which flowed over SMED, it gave rise to change in its terminal voltage. Linear relation was observed between peak height of terminal voltage and logarithm of Po2 of injected gas.

The conventional type of semiconductor gas sensors show only small gas sensitivity to 1,1,1,2,-tetrafulorethane (R-134a). In order to improve the sensitivity, modifying the gas sensing material (SnO2) was studied by adding other elements. For additives, Pd and sulfur were found to be effective. The optimum amounts of Pd and sulfur were 0.3wt% and 1.0 mol% to SnO2, respectively. The improved sensor showed the excellent sensitivity to R-134a. It was found that the sensor could even detect gas leakage as low as 5 ppm.

Planar-type electrochemical CO sensors have been fabricated. The sensor is comprised of three electrodes: working (Pt), counter (Pt) and reference (Au). These electrodes are covered with solution casted Nafion film. The highest CO sensitivity of the sensor using alumina substrate was 0.05 nA/ppm. In order to get higher CO sensitivity, three-dimensional electrodes which have regularly arranged "micro walls" (width: 2000μm, thickness: 3μm, height: 10-45μm) were fabricated on Si substrate. The CO sensitivity of the three-dimensional electrode sensor was attained over 0.7 nA/ppm. The greater area of the thin Nafion layer on "micro walls" contributed to its higher sensitivity.

The sensing properties and characteristics of the binary-carbonate electrodes for solid electrolyte CO2 sensor were investigated. For BaCO3-Na2CO3 electrode system, it was found that interference of the coexistent water vapor on the EMF response became less significant with increasing Ba content and disappeared ca. 45 at% Ba in the electrode. XRD analysis revealed that this behavior corresponded very well with the decrease and disappearance free-Na2CO3 phase with increasing Ba content. SEM observation revealed that electrode had texture composed of two types of regions, i.e., a region occupied by a large plate (containing Ba only) and another by porous bundles of their needles (containing Ba and Na). Other binary systems, such as CaCO3-Na2CO3 and SrCO3-Na2CO3, were shown to give similar stability against water vapor at optimized composition.

An in-situ pH measuring system for high temperature aqueous solutions was developed with YSZ membrane tubes and a new pressure balanced regulator system. Air was filled inside the tube, the pressure of which being balanced with that of high temperature aqueous side by the regulator system. The Pt coated inside surface functioned as an oxygen electrode. Owing to the regulator system and some improvement in the shape of the tube and its cooling position, the damage of the full stabilized membrane tubes was almost prevented. In the temperature range from 150 to 275℃, the potential of the YSZ tube electrode was confirmed to show the one correlation to the potential of the Pt oxygen electrode in air saturated aqueous solutions, The pH measurement by the YSZ tube was also confirmed not to be affected by other redox couples contained in solutions.

Hydrogen sensing mechanism of the Pd/TiO2 (001) and (100) diodes has been investigated by measuring the current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics and the work function change. The magnitude of the barrier height lowering caused by hydrogen is nearly proportional to the square of the work function change for the case of the TiO2 (001) diodes. This behavior is attributed to the removal of preadsorbed oxygen atoms by hydrogen atoms. In the case of the TiO2 (100) diodes, the amount of the barrier height lowering is proportional to the square of the work function change only when the hydrogen concentration is low, and becomes almost linear for high hydrogen concentration, which is attributed to the adsorption of hydrogen on the bare Pd sites.

Using information both from static specifics and from dynamic specifics are advantageous to gas recognition. Transitional responses of tin-oxide semiconductor-gas-sensor were measured with a system of imitating respiration faculty, are possible to extract characteristics. Moreover, this sensor is controlled at regular temperature by PI-controller. As a result of comparing an amplitude of sensor response with a time lag, the relation between the amplitude and the time lag is inverse proportion.

High sensitive and high selective sensor for offensive odor gases was studied. It was found that a thick film AnO semiconductor sensor coated with WO3-Al2O3 layer had high sensitivity and high selectivity for offensive odor gases, e.g., H2S, CH3SH, (CH3)3N, etc.(sensitivity to H2S (0.1 PPM) ≧sensitivities to C2H5OH (80 PPM), C2H4 (1000 PPM) or H2 (400 PPM) )
The selectivity was improved by the formation of WO3-Al2O3 layer, and the sensitivity was also increased. Prompt response was obtained by addition of Pd.

Gas sensitivities of the SnO2 film-type devices were investigated. The sensitivity, which means the ratio of the electrical resistance between in air and in CO atmosphere, is enhanced by catalitic action adding Pt to a mixture of Au and SnO2. The gas sensitivity of CO compared to other gases, such as ethanol and propane, is good. When insulating substance is partly uncovered by a mixture of Au and SnO2 the gas sensitivity is stable for a long period.

A NOx sensor composed of a gas sensitive oxide semiconductor based on titania, heater and thermistor, has been examined for the use of exhaust monitoring. The thermistor was used to controll the operating temperature strictly.
The high sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor to NO were confirmed in the real exhaust gas of an oil stove, without being influenced by coexisting CO, CO2 and HC. The characteristic have kept for more than 2000 hours. The results show the sensor is appropriate for the use of exhaust monitoring.

The gas sensor system to detect carbon monoxide using Au-dopedα-Fe2O3 was developed and its longterm stability was tested. The sensor was made by baking the sensing materials on the Au electrode. The system was consisted of the sensor for the carbon monoxide and the alarm unit. The sensor was heated at 200℃. This system could monitor the concentration of carbon monoxide from 5 ppm to 0.2% continuously. It was applied to detect the leak of carbon monoxide in a chemical laboratory. The sensor system was stable for 100 days with ±30% errors.

Trimethylamine (TMA) sensing mechanism of TiO2-based specimens has been studied from their catalytic activity for TMA oxidation. It was revealed that T80% of each specimen, which was defined as the temperature at which conversion of TMA to CO2 and CO reached 80%, was closely related to the sensor temperature (TM) at the maximum sensitivity (SM). But, the highest value of SM was observed for the specimen, such as TiO2 loaded with 2.0 wt% In (2.0In/TiO2), with moderate catalytic activity. This behavior was anticipated to arise from the sensor configuration used in this study.

Newly designed chemical sensors utilizing interface properties of different semiconductors were fabricated. These sensors consist of thin solid films of semiconductors (CuO〜7000A, ZnO〜5000A) and electrodes (Al〜1000A, Au〜1000A) prepared by RF magnetron sputtering or electron-beam evaporation. Many ditches (width 10μm, pitch 10μm) were formed by photolithography process in order that the interface of CuO/ZuO could be exposed partly to the atmosphere. These open-junctions showed diode rectification and forward currents increased with the increase in humidity at room temperature. Sensitivity varied depending on applied voltage. Effect of the exposure of junctions was clearly confirmed.

Many sensors and systems have been developed for detecting disasters in domestic circumstances, such as gas leaks and fires. In general, only one sensor is used for detecting one kind of disaster. If there should be a hitch of sensor in this system, it will be immediately ineffective. A new type of system which can detect three kinds of disasters, gas leaks, generation of carbon monoxide gas and fires, isconstructed by the use of four kinds of sensors. The reliability of this system has been improved byusing four sensors. The system adopts still more a fuzzy reasoning which has simple membership functions,and it can estimate the grades of each desaster.
