Ethylene (C₂H₄), as a plant hormone, its emission can be served as an indicator to measure fruit quality. Due to the limited physiochemical reactivity of C₂H₄, it is a challenge to develop high performance C₂H₄ sensors for fruit detection. Herein, this paper presents a resistive-type C₂H₄ sensor based on Pd-loaded tin oxide (SnO₂). The C₂H₄ sensing performance of proposed sensor are tested at optimum operating temperature (250 ℃) with ambient relative humidity (51.9% RH). The results show that the response of Pd-loaded SnO₂ sensor (11.1, R_a/R_g) is about 3 times higher than that of pristine SnO₂ (3.5) for 100 ppm C₂H₄. The response time is also significantly shortened from 7 s to 1 s compared with pristine SnO₂. Especially, the Pd-loaded SnO₂ sensor possesses good sensitivity (0.58 ppm^-1) at low concentration (0.05-1 ppm) with excellent linearity (R²=0.9963) and low detection limit (50 ppb). The high sensing performance of Pd-loaded SnO₂ are attributed to the excellent adsorption and catalysis effects of Pd nanoparticle. Meaningfully, the potential applications of C₂H₄ sensor are performed for monitoring the maturity and freshness of fruits, which presents a promising prospect in fruit quality evaluation.
