Stability study of carbon graphite covered quartz crystal

Electrospun nanofibrous membranes coated quartz crystal microbalance as gas sensor for NH3 detection

“…The characteristics of QCM gas sensors depend on the kinds of sensing films coated on their electrodes. A number of materials have been successfully employed in the coating of QCM sensors such as zeolites [5], fullerene C 60 [6], chiral materials [7], polypyrrole [3], carbon graphites [8], ITO films [9], and oligonucleotides [10].…”

Quartz-crystal sensors for biosensing and chemical analysis

“…Equations have been derived, from theoretical models, for the resonant frequency change and the resonant resistance of a quartz crystal with a coating film in contact with liquid [3,4,5,6]. Many analytical applications in gas sensing [2,7], trace ion determination [8], immunoassay [9,10], viscosity monitoring in bioprocesses [11,12,13,14], and electrochemical examinations [15,16,17,18,19] have been published [20]. Phase-transition phenomena of liquid crystals [21,22], lipid multi-bilayer films [23], Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films [24], and blend polymers [25] have also been studied using the quartz crystal and surface acoustic wave devices.…”

Measurement of adsorption characteristics of alumina and activated carbon using a quartz crystal resonator with i-butane

“…Carboncoated quartz crystal resonators have high stability for a wide range of applications. Kim et al [14] investigated the stability of a carboncoated resonator to find that it is very stable and easy to regenerate by simple thermal treatment. In another study [15], activated carbon was coated on the electrode surface by using a binder of phenol resin, and its detection performance was examined with various organic substances in air.…”
