Abstract: Volume-doped CoTiO3 was synthesized via the polyol method. As volume dopants Gd, Ho, K, La, Li, Na, Pb, Sb, and Sm with a concentration of 2at.% were applied. By X-ray diffraction (XRD) materials structure was confirmed, while the materials morphology was imaged using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thick films of the nanocrystalline material were applied with a laboratory robotic system to a 8×8 multielectrode substrate. We show that the p-type semiconducting material doped with various metals is applicable for the fast detection of ethanol and propylene. The volume dopants affect the sensing and response behavior of the base material. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
