Gas sensing performance of Sol-gel grown NiO-doped Cr2O3 nanoparticles

الملخص EN

The sensors based on Nickel oxide doped chromic oxide (NiO: Cr2O3) nanoparticals were fabricated using thick-film screen printing of sol-gel grown powders.

The structural, morphological investigations were carried out using XRD, AFM, and FESEM.

Furthermore, the gas responsivity were evaluated towards the NH3 and NO2 gas.

The NiO0.10: Cr2O3 nanoparticles exhibited excellent response of 95 % at 100oC and better selectivity towards NH3 with low response and recovery time as compared to pure Cr2O3 and can stand as reliable sensor element for NH3 sensor related applications.
