Abstract
A methane sensor includes a substrate, a conductive connection electrode, and a sensing electrode, the conductive connection electrode is arranged on the substrate, and the sensing electrode is covered on the conductive connection electrode, the sensing electrode is a layer of conductive polymer film, and the conductive connection electrode is coated with an insulating layer in addition to the sensing area. The sensing electrode adopts one of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonic acid), polyaniline, polythiophene and polypyrrole, which is made into a film by a screen printing, inkjet printing or other coating method in the form of liquid or paste. The present invention adopts the above methane sensor, with a small and stable sensor, realizing sensitive and rapid detection of methane, and solving the problems of high power consumption of methane sensors in the prior art, high working temperature, expensive and bulky casing of the equipment, and high price.
