Abstract

Mesoporous ZnFe2O4 with ordered tunnel and large specific surface area has been successfully prepared through hard template (mesoporous silica KIT-6). The necessary characterizations such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been carried out to investigate the obtained material. ZnFe2O4 with mesoporous structure presents excellent crystallinity and periodic mesostructure. The sensing properties of gas sensor based on ZnFe2O4 mesoporous material towards acetone has been investigated. The sensor presents outstanding sensitivity, selectivity and longtime stability. This indicates that the obtained mesostructured ZnFe2O4 through hard template method is a potential acetone gas sensor material.
