An appropriate molar ratio of both citric acid and glycine offers a low-temperature synthetic route by incorporating the complexation behavior of citric acid and the combustion nature of glycine. Thermal decomposition/controlled autocatalytic combustion of the composite gel occurs at a low temperature of around 175 degrees C, with the evolution of a large amount of gases. Transmission electron microscopic studies showed that the average particle size of the ferrite obtained is similar to 2.5 nm, with a narrow size distribution. Uniformly distributed fine-grained microstructure with low porosity is obtained for a sample sintered at 1000 degrees C.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.787</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vijayanand, Subramanian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joy, Pattayil Alias</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Potdar, Hari S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Dewyani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Pradip</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanostructured spinet ZnCo2O4 for the detection of LPG</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sensors and Actuators B-Chemical</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HRTEM</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LPG sensor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanostructured ZnCo2O4</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Semiconductor gas sensors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">XPS</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">152</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">121-129</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Nanostrucutred spinel ZnCo2O4 (similar to 26-30 nm) was synthesized by calcining the mixed precursor (consisting of cobalt hydroxyl carbonate and zinc hydroxyl carbonate) in air at 600 degrees C for 5 h. The mixed precursor was prepared through a low cost and simple co-precipitation/digestion method. The transformation of the mixed precursor into nanostructured spinel ZnCO2O4 upon calcinations was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). To demonstrate the potential applicability of ZnCo2O4 spinel in the fabrication of gas sensors, its LPG sensing characteristics were systematically investigated. The ZnCo2O4 spinel exhibited outstanding gas sensing characteristics such as, higher gas response (similar to 72-50 ppm LPG gas at 350 degrees C), response time (similar to 85-90 s), recovery time (similar to 75-80 s), excellent repeatability, good selectivity and relatively lower operating temperature (similar to 350 degrees C). The experimental results demonstrated that the nanostructured spinel ZnCo2O4 is a very promising material for the fabrication of LPG sensors with good sensing characteristics. Plausible LPG sensing mechanism is also discussed. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
