Hydrothermal synthesis of NdFeO3 nanoparticles and their high gas-sensitive properties
N-butanol, a volatile organic compound prevalent in numerous industrial processes, poses significant risks to human health and the environment if not properly monitored. Consequently, the development of high-sensitivity n-butanol sensors is imperative. For this reason, NdFeO 3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method and used for the detection of n-butanol. They were fully analyzed using characterization techniques such as XRD, BET, EDX, SEM, TEM and XPS. The test results revealed that the prepared samples exhibited a granular structure with an average diameter of approximately 65 nm. The specific surface area measured 15.415 m 2 /g, and the pore size was determined to be 16.638 nm. The NdFeO 3 sensor responds up to 441 for 100 ppm n-butanol at 260 °C, response and recovery times were 33 s and 7 s respectively. The response value of the NdFeO 3 sensor is still 4.3 for 1 ppm n-butanol with a minimum detection limit of 0.024 ppm. Simultaneously, the NdFeO 3 sensor has excellent selectivity, stability and moisture resistance. These good sensing properties indicate that this work provides a possible strategy for developing an economical and repeatable high performance gas sensor for the detection of n-butanol.
