The application of Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) sensors measuring Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) gains increasing attention in the ventilation community because of their low price and claimed ability to supplement or even substitute CO2 sensors for demand controlled ventilation (DCV).
VOC in the ppb or sub ppb range. Metal oxide sensors These sensors consist on a metal oxide (MOx) that changes its electrical properties when exposed to different ambient gases because of change in charge mobility. In commercial sensors the overwhelming property measured in metal oxide sensors is the resistance or conductivity. The tin oxide (SnO2) is the most used metal oxide because it has a ...

Measuring VOC's in the air. VOC's can be measured in air using a variety of principles. Most commonly a HMOS, or Heated Metal Oxide sensor would be used, much like those that would measure oxygen, or ozone in the air. A more accurate method, the Photoionization Detector (PID) can also be used. The advantage of the PID sensor is that it provides ...
· Due to contamination of the metal oxide surface, these sensors are prone to drift and loss of sensitivity. Several strategies are available for surface regeneration. Self-calibration can be performed by exposure to ambient air, that contains 1 ppm hydrogen. Sensors are frequently used to monitor VOC in air. To regulate ventilation, a semi-quantitative measure of VOC as CO
Today, metal oxide semiconductor sensors are almost exclusively used as VOC sensors in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology. This sensor element measures the conductivity of the nanocrystalline metal oxide that is applied to a substrate. These sensors only permit the measurement of a relative gas concentra-tion. As a result, it is not possible to specify a measuring range or ...
· At DTU BYG, the research related to Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) sensors for measuring Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) dates back to 2014. Our research, as well as other studies published in the literature has shown that MOS VOC sensors are useful to detect high pollution events such as cleaning, painting or high occupation density. These abilities seem to make MOS VOC sensors …

· Metal Oxide (MOS) VOC sensors. Metal oxide sensors are compact and low cost but require more power than electrochemical sensors. Humidity sensitivity and baseline drift are all characteristics of traditional n-type MOS sensors, but Alphasense p-type metal oxide gas sensors have more stable baselines and very low humidity sensitivity. MOS are not as sensitive at low …

Laboratory measurement results of a single SnO 2 -based gas sensor (Type GGS1330, UST Umweltsensortechnik GmbH, Germany) and a field test sensor system using the same type of sensor are shown. Successful detection and discrimination of three different target VOCs, even with a high …

P-type Metal Oxide VOC Sensor Description This sensor is a broadband total VOC detector. When the cost of a PID is not justifiable, this sensor will detect VOCs with 10-50 ppb limit of detection, depending on the VOC. Unlike common n-type sensors, this metal oxide sensor has a large dynamic range, repeatable response, low humidity response and resistance increases in the presence of most VOCs ...
Metal-oxide chemical sensor technology has been praised as a cheap and efficient method of detecting both reducing and oxidizing gases depending on the metal-oxide’s carrier type. The research conducted in this thesis explored methods of enhancing the sensitivity of an n-type metal-oxide material (indium tin oxide, ITO) to a volatile organic compound (VOC) through changes in both device and ...

· Among the sensor devices considered, conductometric (resistive) gas sensors based on metal oxides are the most promising for monitoring harmful VOCs.
The sensing principle of the SGP is based on a heated film of metal-oxide (MOx) nanoparticles. Adsorbed oxygen on the metal-oxide particles reacts with the target gas and thereby releases electrons. This results in a change of the electrical resistance of the metal-oxide layer that is measured by the sensor.
