Abstract: | In this work, nanoparticles of the trirutile-type oxide NiSb2O6 were synthesized for its application as a gas sensor using the colloidal method assisted by microwave radiation. The crystalline evolution of the powders was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, finding the phase NiSb2O6 at 600 °C. SEM micrographs revealed the growth of microspheres, microrods, and irregularly shaped particles. Using TEM, the average size of the nanoparticles was calculated at?~?17.1 nm. For dynamic tests, pellets and thick films were made from the powders calcined at 600 °C. For the thick films, alternating current was used at frequencies of 0.1 and 1 kHz in C3H8 and CO2 atmospheres at 360 °C, where the material’s sensitivity magnitude in CO2 was?~?2.61% (0.1 kHz) and?~?2.97% (1 kHz). In contrast, for C3H8, the sensitivity was?~?6.69% (0.1 kHz) and?~?5.12% (1 kHz) on average. For the pellets, direct current signals and volumetric flow rates of 100, 150, and 200 cm3/min of CO at 200 °C were applied, where the sensitivities were?~?24.37,?~?35.33, and?~?40.77%, respectively. In each test, the sensitivity visibly increased when the gases were injected. Likewise, the response and recovery times decreased when the frequency and gas concentration increased. The results obtained for the trirutile-type oxide NiSb2O6, which showed good stability, efficiency, and high sensitivity in CO2, C3H8, and CO atmospheres, make it ideal as a toxic gas sensor. |
