Popis: A CO 2 gas sensor based on a metal oxide semiconductor was prepared using spinel-type Co 3 O 4 as a sensing material. The sensing properties of the prepared Co 3 O 4 were tested at various concentrations (500–10000 ppm) of CO 2 gas at the operating temperatures of 150 and 200 °C that are relatively low temperatures compared to those of the conventional semiconductor gas sensors. We confirmed metal carbonate species created by the reaction between Co 3 O 4 and CO 2 through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis before and after exposure to CO 2 . In addition, barium carbonate (BaCO 3 ) was doped into Co 3 O 4 in order to improve the stability of the sensor response as well as the performance of sensor to CO 2 under different humid conditions.
