Abstract
This paper reports the preparation and gas-sensing properties of ZnFe2O4. R aw powders of ZnFe2O4 were obtained by chemical coprecipitation. Effects of the calcining temperature on the phase constituents and microstructure are characterized by TG-DTA and XRD. The conductance-temperature, gas-sensing properties of ZnFe2O4 were investigated. The results demonstrated that ZnFe 2O4 can be used as a new type of gas-sensing material which has a high sens itivity and good selectivity to C2H5OH. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
