The nanocrystallineLa1-xNdxFeO3(0≤x ≤1.0) powders with orthorhombic perovskite phase were prepared by sol-gel method. The average crystallite sizes ofLa1-xNdxFeO3powders are about 20 nm. The resistance and gas-sensing properties of theLa1-xNdxFeO3based sensors were investigated in the temperature range from 160 to 300°C. The results demonstrated that the resistance and response of the perovskite thick films changed with the increase of Nd content.
