Abstract |
During this SBIR Phase I project, Nanomaterials Research (NRLLC) successfully demonstrated a new type of sensor device for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This gas is extremely toxic at low concentrations, and workplace exposure is common in a number of industries. Improved sensors and gas detection instruments are sorely needed to ensure protection of these exposed workers and to reduce H2S emissions into the atmosphere, thereby affecting public health. NRLLC's new sensor device combines recent advances in both semiconductor materials and alternative sensor fabrication approaches. These novel components were produced using processes and architectures that are similar to those used in the manufacture of multilayer ceramic capacitors. The sensors had a footprint of only 0.45 cm x 0.30 cm and exhibited the requisite mechanical strength needed for handling and integration into traditional electronic packages. |
