The synthesized compound was characterized for their phase and morphology by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Conductance responses of the (MgFe(2)O(4)) were measured towards gases like hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol vapors (C(2)H(5)OH), SO(x), H(2), NO(x), NH(3), methanol, acetone and petrol. The gas sensing characterstics were obtained by measuring the sensitivity as a function of various controlling factors like operating temperatures and concentrations of gases. It was found that the sensor exhibited various responses towards these gases at different operating temperatures. Furthermore; the MgFe(2)O(4) based sensor exhibited a fast response and a good recovery towards petrol at temperature 250 degrees C. The results of the response towards petrol reveal that (MgFe(2)O(4)) synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method, would be a suitable material for the fabrication of the petrol sensor.
