Preparation and Property of Lanthanum Ferrite Formaldehyde Gas Sensor Modified by Carbon Nanotubes and Silver

Article Preview

Abstract:

Our previous study revealed that the gas sensitive property of Silver-modified Lanthanum Ferrite (Ag-LaFeO3) is well, but the operating temperature is still high and the sensitivity also needs to be improved. This work based on our previous study. Ag-LaFeO3 was further modified by the Carbon nanoTubes (CNTs). The Ag-LaFeO3 powder modified with CNTs (CNTs-Ag-LaFeO3) was prepared by a sol-gel method combined with microwave chemical synthesis. The structure and gas-sensing properties were investigated. The results show that the structure of CNTs-Ag-LaFeO3 is of orthogonal perovskite. The sensitivity of 0.75% CNTs-Ag-LaFeO3 powder for 1 ppm formaldehyde is 13 at 86°C. The response and recovery time are 100s and 60s, respectively. Moreover, the sensor also has an obvious response for 1ppm formaldehyde at 58°C.
