Abstract

Nanocrystalline nickel ferrite with a crystallite size from 3 to 40 nm has been prepared by spray pyrolysis. The 57Fe Mossbauer spectrum of NiFe2O4 samples has been found to vary systematically with crystallite size. The sensing response of the nanocrystalline nickel ferrite to 50 ppm NH3 has been studied using in situ conductance measurements. NiFe2O4 offers a strong sensing response to ammonia at the level of its maximum concentration limit. The optimum nickel ferrite crystallite size and temperature for ammonia detection are determined.
