Comparison of Hydrogen Sensing Characteristics of CrNbO4 Prepared by Solid-State Route and Solution Combustion Synthesis (SCS)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solution combustion synthesis is adopted for the preparation of CrNbO4. Its electrical conductivity is found to be less than that of the solid state synthesized compound. Hydrogen sensing property of solution-synthesized compound is comparable to that of solid-state prepared compound up to about 400 vppm of H2. However, the sensor signal saturates beyond 2500 vppm of H2. Hydrogen sensing property is compared between the combustion derived and solid state prepared compounds.
