| description | We have developed a preparation technique to form graphite/TiO<sub>2</sub>/Ti and
platinum–graphite/TiO<sub>2</sub>/Ti solid-state sensors. It is based on plasma
electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of titanium foils, whereby a porous titanium
oxide layer is formed with well-defined phase composition and a reproducible
microstructure. A printing method is used to deposit graphite or
catalytically active graphite–platinum electrodes. Our design enables the
application of a variety of different detection principles such as
calorimetry, impedances and amperometry. This study reports results for
H<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O, and CO sensing at room temperature with the most
appropriate detection principle, electrode composition and titanium oxide
microstructure. |
