摘要
In the present article, the gas sensing behaviour of nanocrystalline CuGa2O4 towards H-2, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and NH3 has been reported for the first time Nanocrystalline powders of CuGa2O4 having average particle sizes in the range of 30-60 nm have been prepared through thermal decomposition of an aqueous precursor solution comprising copper nitrate, gallium nitrate and methanol amine (TEA), followed by calcination at 750 degrees C for 2 h The synthesized nanocrystalline CuGa2O4 powders have been characterised through X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) study, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area measurement. The synthesized CuGa2O4 having spinet structure with specific sur face area of 40 m(2)/g exhibits maximum sensitivity towards H-2, LPG, and NH3 at 350 degrees C (C) 2010 Elsevier B V.
