Abstract in English
Thick Films have been prepared by the chemical painting method from Tungsten Oxide nanopowdersas the source compound, which are prepared by milling in a high energy ball mill for variousspans of time (1-18h) on cleanedglasssubstratesunder limited thermal conditions. The temperature of the films have been changed from 25°C to 350°C. The films have been investigated for their sensing properties relating to 100 ppm ethanol vapor adsorption, using the (I–V) characteristics.The activation energy Ea for deposition films is deduced from the Arrhenius equation. The effect of the grain size and the thermal conditions on the sensing properties of the WO3thick films to ethanol vapor adsorption, as well as the correlations between The electrical conductivity of the WO3 thick films and the grain size of the material films are reported.The response time for films which have particle size about 70.54nm is defined at 300°C.
