Abstract This study includes the preparation of novel nano ferrite (Zn0.7 Mn0.3-x Cex Fe2O4) by using the auto combustion technique. For the following molar values, the percentage x was calculated: 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3. The nano-ferrite was calcined for 2 hours at 500°C. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy FE-SEM was used to examine structural, morphological, and sensing properties. The spinel cubic structure was revealed by XRD findings. The particle distribution was shown to contain voids by FE-SEM. The testing of sensing characteristics to NH3 gas indicated that the synthesized nano-ferrite has a small response time ranging from (15.3-25.2) s as well as a small recovery time between (36-58.5) s, also has a higher sensitivity of about 72.23%.

Abstract Spinel ferrite nanoparticles can be easily retrieved and utilized for multiple cycles due to their magnetic properties. In this work, nanoparticles of a ZnxCu1-xFe2O4 composition were synthesized by employing a sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure were examined using scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The produced nanoparticles are in the range of 30–70 nm and manifest spinel cubic structure. The nanoparticles were tested for their sensitivity to H2 and H2S gases, and the Cu-based spinel ferrite nanoparticles were found the most sensitive and selective to H2S gas. Their enhanced response to H2S gas was attributed to the production of metallic CuFeS2 that manifest higher electrical conductivity as compared with CuFe2O4. The fabricated sensors are functional at low temperatures, and consequently, they need low operational power. They are also simple to fabricate with appropriate cost.

Chemically derived auto-combustion technique is employed to synthesize the Zn0.95-xFe0.05AlxO (x=00.07 in 0.02 increment) nanocrystallites. X-ray diffraction studies of all compositions revealed the phase pure wurtzite crystal structure with space group P63mc. The lattice parameters and crystallite size is changed with doping of Al attributed to the diversity in size of ionic radii. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity shows a decreased trend with the rise of temperature, confirming the semiconductor nature of compositions. The lower resistivity and enhanced saturation magnetization values in Al doped compositions correspond to the increase in density of carriers. Carriers mediated RKKY interactions are found to observe for enhancement of magnetization.

The manganite systems investigated during the present work are pure La0.85Te0.15MnO3 (LTMO) and its composite with 12% concentration of Al2O3 nano powder (LTMO + Al2O3). The materials were prepared by the modified auto combustion technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of pure LTMO at room temperature shows that sample is in single phase with no detectable secondary phases and the sample have a rhombohedral structure in hexagonal with the space group R3c. The XRD pattern of LTMO + 12% Al2O3 indicates the clear presence of Al2O3 nano phase in the composite. In the present study, the FTIR Spectroscopy of both samples was carried out. It is clear from the Vibrational assignment for the value of corresponding peak position of FTIR spectra that no extra unwanted impurity is present in samples. A quantitative analysis of the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data indicates that the observed concentration of elements are very close to the calculated values from its chemical formula. R-T measurements reveals that the addition of secondary phase in manganite strongly influenced on electronic and magnetoresistance behaviour. We summarise some of the salient features of the results.

Nano-particles of (38 nm size) cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique using high purity metal nitrates and glycine as a fuel. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The analysis of X-ray diffraction pattern suggests that, the prepared CoFe2O4 spinel ferrite possess single phase cubic spinel structure. The most intense peak (311) of the XRD pattern was used to determine the crystallite size. lattice constant and X-ray density were calculated by using XRD data. The values of lattice constant and X-ray density are found to in the reported range but slightly higher as compared to bulk CoFe2O4 sample. The surface morphology of the CoFe2O4samples was examined through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The result of SEM analysis shows that grain size is of the order of 62 nm. The CoFe2O4 nano-particle exhibit ferromagnetic behavior having saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) values in the range of 83 emu/gm and 1381 Oe respectively. The high values of saturation magnetization and coercivity gives the evidence of nanocrystalline nature of the prepared CoFe2O4 spinel ferrite.

Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The structures, morphologies and surface compositions of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test results show that we have prepared higher purity Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles. The gas-sensing properties of pure and Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles on acetone vapor were further investigated. The results obtained show that the response-recovery time of the two samples prepared is relatively short compared to that reported in the current literature. The Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles are significantly more sensitive and selective than the pure WO3 nanoparticles. This may be mainly attributed to the synergy between Au and WO3. It is expected that the Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles thus prepared can also be used for research in other fields.

Polythiophene (PTP) coated V2O5 nanotubes were prepared by an in-situ polymerization of thiophene monomers in the presence of prepared V2O5 nanotubes. The nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which proved the polymerization of thiophene monomer and the strong interaction between polythiophene and V2O5 nanotubes (VONTs). The gas sensing properties of PTP coated V2O5 nanotubes were studied at room temperature, which was found that PTP coated V2O5 nanotubes could detect ethanol with much higher sensitivity than pure VONTs. The sensing mechanism of PTP coated V2O5 nanotubes to ethanol is presumed to be the synergetic interaction between polythiophene (PTP) and V2O5 nanotubes.

In the present study, we report the first attempt to prepare a conducive environment for Pt/BiVO4 nanocomposite material reusability for the promotion of sustainable development. Here, the Pt/BiVO4 nanocomposite was prepared using a hydrothermal method with various weight percentages of platinum for use in NO2 gas sensors. The surface morphologies and structure of the Pt/BiVO4 nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that Pt added to BiVO4 with 3 wt.% Pt/BiVO4 was best at a concentration of 100 ppm NO2, with a response at 167.7, and a response/recovery time of 12/35 s, respectively. The Pt/BiVO4 nanocomposite-based gas sensor exhibits promising nitrogen dioxide gas-sensing characteristics, such as fast response, highly selective detection, and extremely short response/recovery time. Additionally, the mechanisms of gas sensing in Pt/BiVO4 nanocomposites were explored in this paper.

Abstract Y3+ substituted strontium hexaferrites having chemical composition SrYxFe12-xO19 (x= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The structural and morphological studies of prepared samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction technique, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the single-phase hexagonal structure of yttrium substituted strontium ferrite and the lattice parameters a and c increased with the substitution of Y3+ ions. The crystallite size also varied with x content from 60 to 80 nm. The morphology was studied by FE-SEM, and the grain size of nanoparticles ranged from 44 to 130 nm. The magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. The value of saturation magnetization decreased from 49.60 to 35.40 emu/g. The dielectric constant decreased non-linearly whereas the electrical dc resistivity increased with the yttrium concentration in strontium hexaferrite.
