摘要: Ethylene (C2H4), as a plant hormone, its emission can be served as an indicator to measure fruit quality. Due to the limited physiochemical reactivity of C2H4, it is a challenge to develop high performance C2H4 sensors for fruit detection. Herein, this paper presents a resistive-type C2H4 sensor based on Pd-loaded tin oxide (SnO2). The C2H4 sensing performance of proposed sensor are tested at optimum operating temperature (250 degrees C) with ambient relative humidity (51.9% RH). The results show that the response of Pd-loaded SnO2 sensor (11.1, R-a/R-g) is about 3 times higher than that of pristine SnO2 (3.5) for 100 ppm C2H4. The response time is also significantly shortened from 7 s to 1 s compared with pristine SnO2. Especially, the Pd-loaded SnO2 sensor possesses good sensitivity (0.58 ppm(-1)) at low concentration (0.05-1 ppm) with excellent linearity (R-2 = 0.9963) and low detection limit (50 ppb). The high sensing performance of Pd-loaded SnO2 are attributed to the excellent adsorption and catalysis effects of Pd nanoparticle. Meaningfully, the potential applications of C2H4 sensor are performed for monitoring the maturity and freshness of fruits, which presents a promising prospect in fruit quality evaluation.
