Abstract

In this paper, the synthesized and testing of H2 gas sensors using nickel zinc ferrite NiFe2O4 and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles was shown here. The nickel zinc ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation combine annealed. Characterization of synthesized powders was made using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Nano powder resulting from milling was used to prepare gas sensing elements in pellet form. The gas-sensing properties were studied in presence of hydrogen as test gases. The gas response was found to be strongly influenced by the substitute concentration of Zn. A significant high sensitivity of ~ 90% was found for Zn = 0.5 in presence of 500 ppm H2 at an operating temperature of 250 °C.
