Abstract

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) membranes were fabricated by coating LiFePO4 particles dispersed in various dispersants on tin-diffused glass slides and alumina ceramic tubes for xylene gas detection. The influences of dispersants, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), and methyl methacrylate (MMA), on the optical properties and opto-electrical gas-sensing performance of the LiFePO4 particle-based membranes were investigated. The LiFePO4 particle-based membrane, prepared using PVA, exhibited less agglomeration, better transparency, optimum refractive index, and a higher response toward xylene gas at concentrations of 10 ppb to 1000 ppm in a planar optical waveguide sensor. However, in a resistance-type electrochemical sensing system at room temperature, the LiFePO4-PVA membrane exhibited low response even at high xylene concentrations. The membranes sensitivities increased in the order MMA < SDBS < PVA. After dispersing in PVA, the membrane sensitivity toward xylene was increased ~ 100 times, proving the positive effects of PVA on the optical properties and gas-sensing performance of LiFePO4 particles.
