NiO decorated CeO₂ nanostructures as room temperature isopropanol gas sensors.

ABSTRACT: Heterostructures developed using CeO₂ show promising peculiarities in the field of metal oxide gas sensors due to the great variations in the resistance during the adsorption and desorption processes. NiO decorated CeO₂ nanostructures (NiO/CeO₂) were synthesized via a facile two-step process. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results revealed the perfect decoration of NiO on the CeO₂ surface. The porous nature of the NiO/CeO₂ sensor surface was confirmed from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Gas sensing studies of pristine CeO₂ and NiO/CeO₂ sensors were performed under room conditions and enhanced gas sensing properties for the NiO/CeO₂ sensor towards isopropano
