Abstract
Mesoporous In 2O 3, synthesized by a nanocasting procedure, is used as a resistive gas sensor for ozone in very low concentrations (from 20 ppb to 2.4 ppm) at room temperature. Its sensing performance is substantially increased by illumination with blue light (460 nm, 2.7 eV). For low ozone concentrations the sensor response increases with increasing humidity. However, higher humidity also results in the occurrence of a saturation of the response at lower ozone concentrations; this is rationalized by assuming a poisoning of surface active sites by hydroxyl groups.
