The current research work focused on the investigation of electrical and gas sensing properties of cobalt oxide thick films. Thick films were prepared on glass substrate by using conventional screen printing technique. The electrical properties were investigated by using resistivity, temperature coefficient resistance, and activation energy. The gas sensing properties were investigated using sensitivity, selectivity, ppm variation and reusability. The pure cobalt oxide (Co3O4) thick films exposed to ammonia (NH3), LPG, Methanol and ethanol gases to find sensitivity and selectivity. The Co3O4 thick films show a maximum sensitivity to NH3 gas as compared to other selected gases. The maximum sensitivity was found to be 68.13% to NH3 gas at a concentration of 500 ppm and operating temperature was 200 °C. The Co3O4 thick films also show quick response (~9) and recovery time (̴~22) seconds.
