Abstract

Titanium dioxide ( TiO 2) nanoparticles were prepared by resistive heating Ti filament under an oxygen atmosphere. The obtained nanoparticles were confirmed to be a tetragonal crystal TiO 2 and the particle size increased with increasing the oxygen pressure. The NO 2 gas sensing properties of the TiO 2 nanoparticles were investigated. All the sensors made of TiO 2 nanoparticles with different particle sizes exhibited the maximum sensitivities to 1 ppm NO 2 at a relative low operating temperature of 150°C. Comparing with the large particle size of TiO 2 nanoparticles, the ones with the smallest particle size exhibited the highest sensitivity and the best response and recovery characteristic to various NO 2 gas concentrations.
