Abstract

Novel gas sensor devices, based on biomaterial apple pectin film (APN) doped with NiO, were fabricated for the first time using a solution processing technique. The device was then annealed in a microwave chamber. The structural, elemental, and surface morphology of the device was investigated, using TEM, XPS, and AFM, respectively. The as-fabricated film sensor possessed a superior sensing performance regarding ethanol gas, compared to the pure apple pectin film sensor. The response of the device was recorded at a maximum efficiency of 161. For a 10 ppm concentration of ethanol gas at an operational temperature of 250 C, the response time was 1.379 s. Nevertheless, the sensing mechanism for the sensor device is also described thoroughly.
