Adsorption/combustion-type gas sensors employing mesoporous γ-alumina (mp-Al2O3) powders loaded with core(Au)/shell(Pd) nanoparticles, which were synthesized by sonochemical reduction, (n(Au/Pd)/mp-Al2O3,n: the amount of Au/Pd nanoparticles loaded, (0.1–1.0 wt%), Au:Pd = 1:4 in weight) have been fabricated and their sensing properties to ethanol, toluene andn-hexane have been investigated in air. Then(Au/Pd)/mp-Al2O3sensors showed larger responses to these target gases at lower temperatures than those of sensors fabricated with mp-Al2O3powders loaded with Au and Pd by general impregnation technique (n(Au-Pd)/mp-Al2O3sensors, Au:Pd = 1:4 in weight), especially when the amount of Au and Pd loaded onto the mp-Al2O3powders was reduced (≤0.5 wt%). These sensing properties seem to be largely dependent on the morphological and compositional characteristics of Au and Pd loaded on the γ-alumina surface. In addition, then(Au/Pd)/mp-Al2O3sensors showed much larger response to ethanol than those to toluene andn-hexane, probably because of the difference in the magnitude of polarity (dipole moment and dielectric constant) of their molecules. However, the sensors obviously detected even 10 ppmn-hexane with the extremely low dipole moment and dielectric constant. These results promise that then(Au/Pd)/mp-Al2O3sensors can detect the lower concentration of these gases as well as other VOCs.
