A Formaldehyde Gas Sensor Based on Zinc Doped Lanthanum Ferrite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The gas-sensing properties of zinc doped lanthanum ferrite (Zn-LaFeO3) compounds for formaldehyde were investigated in this paper. Zn-LaFeO3 powders were prepared using sol-gel method combined with microwave chemical synthesis. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The formaldehyde gas-sensing characteristics for the sample were examined. The experimental results indicate that the sensor based on the sample Zn-LaFeO3 shows excellent gas-sensing properties to formaldehyde gas. At the optimal operating temperature of 250°C, the sensitivity of the sensor based on LaFe0.7Zn0.3O3 to 100ppm formaldehyde is 38, while to other test gases, the sensitivity is all lower than 20. The response and recovery times for the sample to formaldehyde gas are 100s and 100s, respectively.
