The structural properties and sensing behavior of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cadmium sulphide (CdS) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite film is investigated. Undoped TiO2 and 1 wt % CdS doped TiO2 films are grown onto alumina substrate. Structural properties are investigated using X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD measurement reveals that the crystallites sizes of TiO2 were found 25.6 nm and 22.6 nm for undoped TiO2 and CdS-TiO2 film respectively. The CdS content reduced the crystallite size. The fabricated undoped and CdS doped TiO2 composite are used as a sensing film for detection of LPG at 25 0C. The variation in resistance of the fabricated sensor undoped TiO2 (S1) and 1 wt% CdS-TiO2 (S2) is measured varying the concentration of LPG (0- 5000 ppm) in air ambient at room temperature. We observed that S2 sensor show maximum response to LPG (35%) which is 2.5 times more than S1 for concentration of LPG 5000 ppm. The response and recovery time of fabricated sensor are 130 sec and 350 sec. Thus, CdS-doped TiO2 film is promising sensing film for the detection of LPG at 25 0C.
