In this work the sensitivity towards CO 2 of pure ceria, zirconia and a Ce-Zr mixed oxide
were tested in a Kelvin Probe setup. The nanocrystalline powders were obtained by
microwave-assisted synthesis. A high work function response in humid air was observed for
all compositions, the mixed oxide exhibiting the best sensing characteristics. Based on the
results presented here, we propose nanocrystalline Ce 0.8 Zr 0.2 O 2 as a CO 2 sensitive
layer for work function based gas sensors.
