Porous LaFeO3 with High Response to Acetone Synthesized from Biotemplates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Biomorphic porous LaFeO3 samples were prepared using aspen leaves as biotemplates. The structural and microscopy characterization has been carried out with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. XRD patterns confirm thatLaFeO3 shows perovskite phase with orthorhombic structure. The results of SEM and TEM revealed that the the obtained LaFeO3 with hollow and porous structure. And the porous LaFeO3 is composed of spherical particles with the size of 50-80 nm The gas sensing performance of as-prepared LaFeO3 nanocrystlas was investigated. It is found that porous LaFeO3 calcined at 700°C exhibit good sensitivity to acetone with rapid response.
