Abstract

In this work we present the gas sensing properties of rare-earth doped nanoparticular metal oxides which have been prepared by the polyol mediated synthesis. The materials are studied using a high-throughput equipment, applying multi electrode substrates and high-throughput impedance spectroscopy in a temperature range from 500 to 200°C and under various gas atmospheres (synthetic air, H2, CO, NO, NO2, ethanol and propylene). We will report about the development of this new experimental technique and its potential to be applied for gas sensor development.
