Low-temperature NO2 gas sensing by delafossite-structured AgFeO2 nanograins
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) gas monitoring has become increasingly important to ensure the safety of human lives and the environment. The present study investigates the potential of low-cost delafossite-structured AgFeO2 nanoparticles to detect NO2 gas at low temperature. Highly porous, grain-like AgFeO2 nanoparticles were prepared by simple co-precipitation method and characterized using XRD, FESEM-EDS, TEM and BET analysis.AgFeO2 nanograins synthesized by conventional method, demonstrated gas-sensing performance with respect to sensitivity (1.89%), short response (51s) and, selectivity at low temperature of 50 oC, towards 8 ppm NO2 gas.
