Abstract
Hydrothermally synthesized In2O3 nanocubes were sensitized with Au and gas sensing performance is analyzed. The Au sensitization was done using sputtering and gas sensing performance is studied as function of different sputtering time. The catalytic activity of Au particles on In2O3 films increases with the sputtering time but acquires saturation at high sputtering time. The Au sensitization with sputtering time of 5 s was found to show improved sensor response (Rg/Ra) of 8435 than the sensor response of 6876 for pure In2O3 film. The improved sensor response was attributed to the catalytic activity of Au particles on the In2O3 film surface. In addition, Au sensitized In2O3 also demonstrates the sensor response at 60 ppb.
