The Development of FeMn2O4 Gas Sensors at Room Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Different ratios of MnO2 / Fe2O3, were used after being fired to form thick film gas sensors. The films were deposited on alumina substrates. The response of the sensors for a concentration range of 2500-5000 ppm increasing by a step size of 500 ppm of propanol at room temperature was investigated. The highest response was with the 75 / 25 MnO2 / Fe2O3 sensor followed by the 25 / 75 and 50 / 50 MnO2 / Fe2O3 sensors. The repeatability of the 75 / 25 mol. % MnO2 / Fe2O3 to propanol at two concentration ranges 500-3000 and 2500 - 5000 ppm increasing with a step size of 500 ppm at room temperature was reported. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is used to determine the final composition of the materials after firing. The XRD results show that MnO2 reacts with Fe2O3 to form FeMn2O4 with Fe2O3 and Fe3O4..
