Abstract
A bismuth molybdate gas sensor which provides stable sensitivity to gases such as alcohol, ketones, alkenes, and long chain alkanes is disclosed. Sensors comprising a mixture of the Bi.sub.2 Mo.sub.3 O.sub.12 and Bi.sub.2 MoO.sub.6 phases of bismuth molybdate; or, bismuth iron molybdate are particularly effective. The bismuth molybdate mixture; or, the bismuth iron molybdate may be deposited as a thin film on a substrate or may take the form of a sintered powder.
