Nanocrystalline Ce doped CoFe2O4 as an acetone gas sensor
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Nanocrystalline CoFe 2− x Ce x O 4 ferrites ( x =0, 0.04, 0.08) were synthesized by using the inexpensive, simple and eco - friendly molten-salt (M-S) method. Effects of Ce doping on the structural, morphological and gas sensing properties of the CoFe 2 O 4 ferrite were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the formation of spinel CoFe 2 O 4 . Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations showed that the synthesized ferrite is made up of very fine spherical nanoparticles. Furthermore, the gas response of nanocrystalline ferrite materials was investigated in the temperature range of 200–450 °C toward the reducing gases like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), acetone, ethanol and ammonia. The sensor response was found to be sensitive and selective toward acetone as compared to other reducing gases. It is observed that the addition of Ce (4 wt%) strongly influenced the response and the operating temperature of the sensor material and thus can serve as acetone-sensing sensors.
