Abstract

In a device for sensing gases, such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ethylene or hydrogen sulphide, in air, a material 1 has one end coated with a layer 2 for catalysing a desired reaction with the production of heat and thus a temperature differential between the end of the material, and the sensor is arranged to produce a voltage in response thereto by the Seebeck effect. Material 1 may be an oxide semiconductor, e.g. tin dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, chromic oxide, or barium titanate, or are usable with sulphide present, e.g. molybdenum disulphide. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Improvements in or relating to sensors The present invention relates to sensors and more particularly to electrical sensor devices which are suitable for use in gases and gaseous mixtures.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided an electrical sensor device which includes a material capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect, said material being a semiconductor oxide material or a material capable of sensing a sulphide, having a first region and a second region, one of the regions being capable of catalysing a given chemical reaction such that a difference in temperature may be developed between the first region and the second region in order that a Seebeck voltage may be developed between the first and second regions.
The sensor device may include a means for measuring the Seebeck voltage.
Examples of semiconductor oxide materials which may be used in sensor devices in accordance with the present invention are tin dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, chromic oxide, and barium titanate. Molybdenum disulphide is a further example of material suitable for use in accordance with the present invention as a material capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect. Molybdenum disulphide may be used in sensing sulphides (e.g. hydrogen sulphide). It is to be understood that some semiconductor oxide materials may be capable of sensing a sulphide.
In this Specification "capable of sensing a sulphide" is used to embrace materials which are capable of exhibiting a Seebeck voltage when incorporated in a sensor device in accordance with the present invention and contacted with a sulphide in a gas or gaseous mixture.
A region of the material may be arranged to be capable of catalysing a chemical reaction by provision thereon of a catalytic material.
Thus, for example, a metallic catalyst such as platinum, platinum-palladium, iridium or ruthenium may be provided at a region of the material.
By way of example a sensor device of the present invention may be used to detect, in air, gases such as hydrogen, carbon monox ide, C2H4 and H2S.
It is preferred that the material capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect is porous in order to provide adequate surface area for contact with a gas or gaseous mixture.
Also, porosity can faciliatate the retention of heat produced during a catalysed reaction.
An electrical sensor device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention may comprise a pellet of material capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect, said material being a semiconductor oxide material or material capable of sensing a sulphide, having a region provided with a catalytic material and a region not having a catalytic material, and means for measuring a Seebeck voltage between the two regions.
Surface parts of the pellet not provided with a catalytic material may, optionally, be provided with a protective coating (e.g. of Au) to protect against possible "poisoning" by reaction products.
The means for measuring a Seebeck voltage may be, for example, a voltmeter (e.g. a digital voltmeter) the input impedance of which is selected to be sufficiently low that a rest voltage in air is avoided but sufficiently high that no significant current is drawn from the material.
In one embodiment of the present invention a pellet for use in accordance with the present invention may be prepared by pressing the material capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect in powder form to give a porous pellet.
A catalytic material may be sputtered onto a region of the material to provide a region having a catalytic material.
In another embodiment of the present invention a pellet for use in accordance with the present invention may be prepared by pressing a material, capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect, in powder form and a mixture of said material in powder form and a catalytic material in powder form such that a porous pellet is formed having a region with a catalytic material and a region not having a catalytic material.
Thus, for example in accordance with the immediately foregoing embodiment of the invention a material, capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect, in powdered form may be introduced into a die and a mixture of said material in powdered form and a catalytic material in powder form may then be added to the die to give two regions of powdered material is the die. Pressing may then be carried out to give a porous pellet having a region a catalytic material and a region not having a catalytic material.
It is to be understood that an electrical sensor device in accordance with the present invention can operate at substantially room temperature and thus the requirement of providing a heating means may be avoided.
It is to be understood, however, that if desired a sensor device in accordance with the present invention may be operated at an elevated temperature. Thus, for example, a sen sor device in accordance with the present invention may be operated at, for example, around 10000. An increase in magnitude of response and speed of response may be achieved with certain materials at elevated temperatures of around 100 C (e.g. the re sponse to hydrogen sulphide of a sensor de vice having molybdenum disulphide as the ma terial capable of exhibiting a Seebeck voltage was increased in magnitude and speed by operating at around 100"C). When compared with the power requirements of known devices operating at 300 to 4000C the power requirements for operating a sensor in accordance with the present invention at around 100 C is relatively small.
It is also to be understood that since the measured voltage is developed by a temperature difference between regions of the material (Seebeck effect) the requirement of providing an external electrical supply as is necessary in the case of a sensor working on, for example, resistivity changes, is substantially avoided (i.e. a device in accordance with the present invention may be substantially "self-powered").
It will be appreciated that in operation a gaseous mixture may be passed over a sensor device in accordance with the present invention and at a region carrying a catalytic material a chemical reaction may occur (e.g. the combustion of gases such as H2, CO, C2H4 or H2S) which gives rise to an increase in temperature whilst another region of the material (not carrying a catalytic material) may remain at substantially ambient temperature. The resulting temperature difference gives rise to a voltage by virtue of the Seebeck effect and the voltage is measured. The magnitude of the voltage is related to the concentration in the gaseous mixture of gas which gives rise to the chemical reaction. Thus it is possible, for example, to detect gases (e.g. H2, CO, C2H4 and H2S) in air.
Sensor devices in accordance with the present invention are believed to be less prone to moisture "poisoning" than are resistance modulating devices.
The invention will now be further described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings and with reference to the Examples 1 to 8.
In the Drawings: Figure l is a diagrammatic representation of an electrical sensor device in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 shows the voltage response of an electrical sensor device in accordance with the invention to varying concentrations of hydrogen in air; Figure 3 shows the voltage response of an electrical sensor device in accordance with the present invention to a 5 second pulse of 1% hydrogen in air; and Figure 4 shows the voltage response of an electrical sensor device in accordance with the present invention to hydrogen sulphide in air.
Referring now to Fig. 1, there is shown an electrical sensor device comprising a cylindrical pellet 1 of material capable of exhibiting a Seebeck effect having, region 2 coated with a catalytic material and a region 3 not coated with a catalytic material. Electrodes 4 and 5 are provided and are connected via conductors 6 and 7 respectively to a voltage measuring means 8.
In operation a gaseous mixture containing a gas to be detected is passed over pellet 1 and a chemical reaction involving the gas is catalysed at region 2 with a resulting rise in temperature.
A Seebeck voltage is developed between the region 2 and region 3 due to the temperature difference between the regions 2 and 3 and the voltage is measured by voltage measuring means 8.
Examples 1 to 6 A sensor device of the form shown in Fig.
1 of the accompanying drawings was used to detect hydrogen in air.
The sensor device had a pellet of tin dioxide having a region having a Pt-Pd catalyst. Two Au electrodes were sputtered onto opposite end faces of the pellet (i.e. one electrode was formed on a Pt-Pd catalyst and one electrode was formed on a region not having a catalyst). The electrodes were connected to a voltage measuring device (DVM) via Cu wires.
The pellet was formed by pressing a layer of tin dioxide powder and a layer of tin dioxide powder mixed with powdered platinum and palladium in a die. The pellet after pressing had a region of porous tin dioxide and a region of porous tin dioxide provided with a platinum-Pd catalytic material.
The pellet was placed in an enclosure and alternately air containing a given hydrogen content and argon was passed over the pellet.
When air containing hydrogen was passed over the pellet a chemical reaction was catalysed by the catalytic material at the region coated with Pt-Pd catalyst giving a rise in temperature. A Seebeck voltage developed between this region and the region not provided with a catalytic material which remained substantially at room temperature.
The response of the sensor is given in Fig.
2 wherein the Seebeck voltage developed is shown for samples of air containing various amounts of hydrogen.
The amounts of hydrogen were 0.15% (Example 1), 0.30% (Example 2), 0.45% (Example 3), 0.60% (Example 4), 0.75% (Example 5) and 0.90% (Example 6).
The samples of air containing hydrogen were alternated with argon.
Example 7 A sensor device of the type used in Examples 1 to 6 was exposed to a 5 second pulse of 1 per cent H2 in air and the response measured. The response is shown in Fig. 3.
Example 8 A sensor device of the form shown in Fig.
1 of the accompanying drawings was used to detect hydrogen sulphide in air.
The sensor device had a pellet of molyb denum disulphide having a region having a Pt Pd catalyst. Two Au electrodes were sputtered onto opposite end faces of the pellet (i.e. one electrode was formed on a region having a Pt-Pd catalyst and one electrode was formed on a region not having a catalyst). The electrodes were connected to a voltage measuring device (DVM) via Cu wires. The pellet was formed by pressing a layer of molybenum disulphide powder and a layer of molydenum disulphide powder mixed with powdered platinum and palladium in a die. The pellet after pressing had a region of porous molybdenum disulphide and a region of porous molybdenum disulphide provided with a platinum-Pd catalytic material.
The pellet was placed in an enclosure and heated to about 110"C and air was passed over the pellet.
When air containing 1000 ppm hydrogen sulphide was passed over the pellet a chemical reaction was catalysed by the catalytic material at the region coated with Pt-Pd catalyst giving a rise in temperature. A Seebeck voltage developed between this region and the region not provided with a catalytic material which remained substantially at room temperature.
The response of the sensor is given in Fig.
4 wherein the Seebeck voltage developed is shown for air containing 1000 ppm hydrogen sulphide at 1 1 0 C.
It will be appreciated that "Gas On" and "Gas Off" in the Figure indicate, respectively, the point in time at which air containing 1000 ppm hydrogen sulphide was introduced to the sensor and the point in time at which air containing 1000 ppm hydrogen sulphide was replaced by air.
