Abstract EN
Mesoporous CoSb2O6 nanoparticles, synthesized through a nonaqueous method (using cobalt nitrate, antimony trichloride, ethylenediamine, and ethanol as a solvent), were tested to establish their sensitivity to CO and C3H8 atmospheres at relatively low temperatures.
The precursor material was dried at 200°C and calcined at 600°C.
X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed to verify the existence of crystal phases (P42/mnm) and the morphology of this trirutile-type CoSb2O6 oxide.
Pyramidal and cubic shaped crystals (average size: 41.1 nm), embedded in the material’s surface, were identified.
Mesopores (average size: 6.5 nm) on the nanoparticles’ surface were observed by means of transmission electron microscopy.
The best sensitivity of the CoSb2O6 in a CO atmosphere was at the relatively low temperatures of 250 and 350°C, whereas, in a C3H8 atmosphere, the sensitivity increased uniformly with temperature.
These results encourage using the CoSb2O6 nanoparticles as gas sensors.
