Abstrakt: This paper reports results of dodecane-sensing studies with double-substituted LaCoO3 perovskite oxide nanowires. La0.40Sr0.15Ag0.45CoO3-α nanowires were co-sputtered from metallic La, Sr, Ag and Co targets in the presence of a reactive argon-oxygen gas mixture. As deposited coatings are amorphous and crystallise in the perovskite structure after annealing at 873 K for 2 hours under air. Electrical response of the La0.40Sr0.15Ag0.45CoO3-α nanowires was measured at different temperature under air and under air containing 1 to 100 ppm (v) of dodecane vapour. The electrical signal of the nanowires was found to be high and it was possible to detect low concentrations of dodecane (under 5 ppm (v) ) at 573 K.
