This work summarizes the significant progress in ethylene detection based on an innovative Gas Metal Oxide Semiconductor (GMOS) sensor and a new catalytic composition of metallic nanoparticles. The paper presents a study on ethylene and ethanol sensing using a miniature catalytic sensor fabricated by Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor\u2013Silicon-on-Insulator\u2013Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (CMOS-SOI-MEMS) technology. The GMOS performance with bimetallic palladium\u2013platinum (Pd-Pt) and monometallic palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) catalysts is compared. The synergetic effect of the Pd-Pt catalyst is observed, which is expressed in the shift of combustion reaction ignition to lower catalyst temperatures as well as increased sensitivity compared to monometallic components. The optimal catalysts and their temperature regimes for low and high ethylene concentrations are chosen, resulting in lower power consumption by the sensor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi16060672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]],"date-time":"2025-06-02T12:27:09Z","timestamp":1748867229000},"page":"672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Role of Pd-Pt Bimetallic Catalysts in Ethylene Detection by CMOS-MEMS Gas Sensor Dubbed GMOS"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Hanin","family":"Ashkar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Technion\u2014Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Stolyarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Technion\u2014Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel"},{"name":"Todos Technologies Ltd., Kinneret 12, Airport City 7019900, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanya","family":"Blank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Technion\u2014Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yael","family":"Nemirovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Technion\u2014Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel"},{"name":"Todos Technologies Ltd., Kinneret 12, Airport City 7019900, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zaidi, N.A., Tahir, M.W., Vellekoop, M.J., and Lang, W.
