Abstract
A low-cost and low-power polyaniline-based (PANI) gas sensor is provided. The PANI-based gas sensor is formed on a flexible polyimide (PI) substrate using additive manufacturing techniques. The gas sensor can include silver interdigitated electrode (IDE) arrays and conducting polymeric sensing films (i.e., PANI) that are printed onto the PI substrate using a direct-write technology of aerosol-jet printing. Aerosol-jet printing enables high-resolution, non-contact deposition of both the electrode and chemically sensitive materials. The gas sensor is optionally capable of 5 ppm sensitivity and a sub-ppm detection limit.
