While several nanometer sized Pt and Pd particles were uniformly dispersed on SnO2, the Au particles were aggregated as particles measuring &gt;10 nm in diameter. In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) analysis of the catalyst showed a CO adsorption peak on Pt and Pd, but no clear peak corresponding to the interaction between CO and Au was detected. Up to 200 \u00b0C, CO combustion was more temperature dependent than that of H2, while H2 combustion was activated by repeated exposure to H2 gas during the periodic gas test. Selective CO sensing of the micro-TGS against H2 was attempted using a double catalyst structure with 0.3\u201330 wt% Pt\/\u03b1-Al2O3 as a counterpart combustion catalyst. The sensor output of the micro-TGS decreased with increasing Pt content in the Pt\/\u03b1-Al2O3 catalyst, by cancelling out the combustion heat from the AuPtPd\/SnO2 catalyst. In addition, the AuPtPd\/SnO2 and 0.3 wt% Pt\/\u03b1-Al2O3 double catalyst sensor showed good and selective CO detection. We therefore demonstrated that our micro-TGS with double catalyst structure is useful for controlling the gas selectivity of CO against H2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s151229873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,15]],"date-time":"2015-12-15T10:09:11Z","timestamp":1450174151000},"page":"31687-31698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["CO Sensing Performance of a Micro Thermoelectric Gas Sensor with AuPtPd\/SnO2 Catalyst and Effects of a Double Catalyst Structure with Pt\/\u03b1-Al2O3"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1362-6750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomoyo","family":"Goto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), 2266-98 Shimo-Shidami, Moriyama-ku, Nagoya 463-8560, Japan"}]},{"given":"Toshio","family":"Itoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), 2266-98 Shimo-Shidami, Moriyama-ku, Nagoya 463-8560, Japan"}]},{"given":"Takafumi","family":"Akamatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), 2266-98 Shimo-Shidami, Moriyama-ku, Nagoya 463-8560, Japan"}]},{"given":"Woosuck","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), 2266-98 Shimo-Shidami, Moriyama-ku, Nagoya 463-8560, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1016\/j.microc.2004.10.008","article-title":"Breath analysis: Trends in techniques and clinical applications","volume":"79","author":"Fuoso","year":"2005","journal-title":"Microchem.
