S. Matsushima et al., C3H6 sensitive SmFeO3 prepared from thermal decomposition of heteronuclearcomplexes, {Ln[Fe(CN) 6]center dot nH(2)O}(x) (Ln = La, Sm, Dy), J CERAM S J, 108(7), 2000, pp. 681-682
Perovskite-type LnFeO(3) (Ln=La, Sm, By) powders were prepared by thermal d
ecomposition of cyanide-bridged heteronuclear complexes and their gas sensi
ng properties to C3H6 were investigated. As a result, it was found that SmF
eO3 has the highest sensitivities to C3H6 among the perovskite oxides exami
ned. By adding a small amount of Pd to SmFeO3, gas-sensing properties such
as gas sensitivity and response time were largely enhanced.
