Effects of Ce doping on the structural, morphological and gas sensing properties of the CuFe2O4 ferrite have been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the formation of spinel CuFe2O4. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations showed that the synthesized ferrite is made up of very fine spherical nanoparticles. Moreover, the gas sensing properties of sintered samples were studied towards different reducing gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), acetone, ethanol and ammonia. The sample with 4% cerium doped CuFe2O4 (Ce4) showed the maximum gas sensitivity (86%) towards LPG with fast response time of 5 s and good recovery time of 68 s.

Effects of Ce doping on the structural, morphological and gas sensing properties of the CoFe2O4 ferrite were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the formation of spinel CoFe2O4. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations showed that the synthesized ferrite is made up of very fine spherical nanoparticles. Furthermore, the gas response of nanocrystalline ferrite materials was investigated in the temperature range of 200-450 degrees C toward the reducing gases like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), acetone, ethanol and ammonia. The sensor response was found to be sensitive and selective toward acetone as compared to other reducing gases. It is observed that the addition of Ce (4 wt%) strongly influenced the response and the operating temperature of the sensor material and thus can serve as acetone-sensing sensors.

Herein we report the effect of Pd doping on the morphological and electrochemical properties of WO3 at nanoscale prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The synthesized pristine WO3 (cabbage like morphology) and Pd doped WO3 (cauliflower like morphology) are examined by using XRD, XPS, Raman spectra, BET, FE-SEM, TEM. The morphological investigation shows the effective rebuilding of nanosheets assembled cabbage shaped pristine WO3 into nanobricks assembled cauliflower shaped Pd doped WO3 with improvement in crystallinity, surface area and conductivity. As a result, the enhancement in the electrochemical performance of cauliflower shaped Pd-WO3 is recorded four times higher specific capacitance than pristine WO3. Additionally, the excellent cyclic stability (almost ten times higher than pristine WO3) up to 1100 cycles with nearly 86.95% capacity retention is observed in Pd-WO3 attributed to Pd content and highly modified structural arrangement.1 aGupta, S., P.1 aPatil, V., B.1 aTarwal, N., L.1 aBhame, S., D.1 aGosavi, S., W.1 aMulla, I., S.1 aLate, D., J.1 aSuryavanshi, S., S.1 aWalke, P., S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/enhanced-energy-density-and-stability-self-assembled-cauliflower-pd-doped-monoclinic-wo3
