초록
Pure ZnFe2O4 and Fe2O3-ZnFe2O4 hetero-composite spheres were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of a solution containing Zn-and Fe-nitrates. Additionally, the sensing characteristics of these spheres in the presence of 5 ppm ethanol, benzene, p-xylene, toluene, and CO (within the temperature range of 275-350oC) were investigated. The Fe2O3-ZnFe2O4 hetero-composite sensor with a cation ratio of [Zn]:[Fe]=1:3 exhibited a high response (resistance ratio = 140.2) and selectivity (response to p-xylene/response to ethanol = 3.4) to 5ppm p-xylene at 300oC, whereas the pure ZnFe2O4 sensor showed a comparatively lower gas response and selectivity. The reasons for the superior response and selectivity to p-xylene in Fe2O3-ZnFe2O4 hetero-composite sensor were discussed in relation to the electronic sensitization due to charge transfer at Fe2O3-ZnFe2O4 interface and Fe2O3-induced catalytic promotion of gas sensing reaction. The sensor can be used to monitor harmful volatile organic compounds and indoor air pollutants.
