Abstract
Selectivity continues to be one of the major challenges for gas sensors. This work reports on transient variations in the resistance of In2S3 sensors following injection of different concentrations of ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetone and toluene at 350 °C operating temperature. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are recognized using the transient evolution of a single sensing element that offers different characteristics that can be direct or indirect signals detection of the target gas. Novel features for twenty individuals were processed by principal component analysis and hierarchical ascending classification, and four obvious clusters were observed. The output of the VOC detection sensor for the gaseous analyte is represented by the result of analyzes of three data matrices having 9, 7 and 8 dimensional vectors. Result is delivered with a sequence of three digits determined after global execution. Based on this approach, the distinction of one reducing gas from another is demonstrated.
