Abstract

Carbon monoxide is a odorless, colorless and toxic gas. The effects of carbon monoxide exposure may vary greatly from person to person depending on age, overall health and both concentration and duration of exposure. In this paper the detection of carbon monoxide is accomplished through the conductivity changes of a Cobalt-TriPhenylCorrole (CoTPC) layer deposited onto a micro-fabricated substrate. The influence of light in enhancing sensor sensitivity has also been investigated. Results demonstrate the capability of this sensor to detect carbon monoxide below the limits of toxicity.
