Highly sensitive mixed-potential-type NO2 sensors based on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and In2O3-MoO3 nanocomposite electrode were fabricated. The In2O3 doped with 2%, 5%, 10% MoO3 and pure In2O3 were synthesized by sol-gel method, and these materials were applied to sensing electrode (SE). The effects of doping amount of MoO3 on NO2-sensing properties were investigated. It was found that the sensor using In2O3 sensing electrode doped with 5 wt% MoO3 exhibited larger sensitivity to NO2 in the range of 10-200 ppm than the other sensors using In2O3 doped with 0%, 2% and 10% MoO3. The sensor using In2O3 sensing electrode doped with 5% MoO3 showed high sensitivity (59 mV/decade), good stable and repeatable performance at elevated temperature. The electric potential difference (Delta V) of the sensor varies almost linearly with the NO2 concentrations in the examined range of 10-200 ppm. Moreover, it is noteworthy that the influence of relative humidity on NO2 sensitivities at 500 degrees C is little. Combined with the XRD analysis, XPS analysis, ICP analysis of the sensing materials and modified-polarization curves of the sensors, it could be speculated that the MoO3, doped to the In2O3 sensing electrode, plays a significant role in sensing performance, and a possible mechanism for the improvement of NO2-sensing properties was proposed here.
