Two sensors previously developed at Swansea have been greatly improved. The resistance in clean air of the CO-selective sensor can be reduced by a factor of up to 200 by introducing small amounts of Sb2O3 (0.2–2%); production of the methane-selective device can be improved by introducing a presintering stage. Further study of the tin oxide-bismuth oxide system has led to the production of a third selective sensor, which is sensitive to the presence of hydrogen but shows no response to the presence of either carbon monoxide or methane.
