Solution combustion synthesis and enhanced gas sensing properties of porous In2O3/ZnO heterostructures

Synthesis, characterization and enhanced gas sensing performance of porous ZnCo2O4 nano/microspheres.

In recent years, spinel-type compounds have attracted great interest because of their gem-like qualities. However, little is known of their gas sensing properties. We report, in this paper, on a self-assembly method to prepare porous ZnCo2O4 (ZCO) nano/microspheres by a facile one-step solvothermal process and subsequent annealing. Abundant techniques were used to characterize the morphology an...

GAS SENSING PROPERTIES OF POROUS Cu-, Cd- AND Zn- FERRITES

Some spinel ferrites, MFe2O4 (M = Cu, Cd and Zn), having submicron grain sizes (0.1–0.7μm) were prepared by sol-gel-selfcombustion and their sensing properties to reducing gases were investigated. The gas sensing characteristics were obtained by measuring the sensitivity as a function of various controlling factors, like operating temperature, composition and concentration of the gas, and final...

Synthesis and Characterization of Porous Clay Heterostructures

Porous clay heterostructures (PCH) based on modified montmorillonite were synthesized using different reaction conditions (different hydration degrees, pH values and reaction times). The PCH precursors and PCH were characterized using FTIR Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffractions (XRD). The XRD results showed that basal distance of porous clay heterostructures was significantly influenced by the mod...

Synthesis, characterization, and gas sensing properties of In-doped ZnO nanopowders

Indium (1at %) doped ZnO and ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized via sol gel method. The structural characters of the synthesized nanoparticles have been studied by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersiveX-ray spectroscopy (EDX). From synthesized nanopowders a tablet was prepared by using the isostatic pressing and then sintered at ...
