dc.description.abstract | The application of titania materials to gas sensing devices based on thin films are of limited utility
because they only operate at a high working temperature and exhibit in general a low sensitivity. To
overcome these constraints, a new type of oxygen sensor based on mesoporous titania thin films
working at room temperature under UV irradiation has been developed. The increased density of charge
carriers induced by the photoconductive effect, has been used to enhance the sensitivity of the thin
oxide layers. Mesostructured titania films have been prepared via self-assembly and thermal processing
to remove the organic template obtaining anatase nanocrystals. The mesoporous films show a striking
decrease of the current in the presence of oxygen that acts as an electron scavenger. Mesoporous
samples exhibit a much higher response with respect to dense titania, due to the higher surface area
and the larger number of surface defects. | en |
