It has bee well known that addition of small amount of catalyst can induce a considerable improvement of the detection sensitivity of oxide gas sensors. The catalyst has usually been added to oxides in the form of gas or liquid phase. In this paper a conventional method of adding catalyst in the form of power of catalytic metal oxide has been satisfactorily used for oxide odor sensors. Ag_2O, PdO and PtO_2 powders are employed to investigate the effect of Ag, Pd and Pt as catalyst on the detection sensitivity of SnO_2 thick film sensors. It is observed that the addition of Ag_2O and PdO shows a remarkable enhancement of the detection sensitivity in comparison with the case of PtO_2.
