Abstract
The nano γ-Fe2O3 films gas sensor was fabricated by the screen printing technology. The phase structures and morphologies of nano γ-Fe2O3 films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. The gas sensitivity of the films to 100ppm formaldehyde was investigated. The surface adsorption and reaction process between nano γ-Fe2O3 films and formaldehyde was studied by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) method at different temperatures. DRIFTS results showed that dioxymethylene, formate ions, polyoxymethylene and molecularly formaldehyde surface species were detected when the nano γ-Fe2O3 films exposed to 100ppm formaldehyde at different temperatures. A possible mechanism of the reaction process was discussed.
