Abstract:
Polypyrrole composite film was formed on the interdigital carbon electrodes by in-situ polymerization to make a gas sensor.The electrical response to trimethylamine was investigated.The results indicate that the organic film has high sensitivity and rapid response to trimethylamine.The gassensitivity of polypyrrole composite film to trimethylamine of 5.14×10
-7mol/mL,which is up to 3-6 orders of magnitude within 1 min,is much higher than those of phthalocyanine,porphyin,perylene and their fluorination derivatives.The sensor exhibits a good reproducibility as well as a good selectivity to analogy vapors while the film can be completely recovered with high-purity N
2 at room temperature.
