Manganese ferrites and nickel-doped manganese ferrites were successfully synthesized using a chemical co-precipitation method, and characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDAX techniques. The nickel-doped samples showed smaller crystallite sizes and exhibited good gas sensing properties towards ammonia gas.
Manganese ferrites (MnFe2O4) and three different weight percentage of nickel doped manganese ferrites (Ni: MnFe2O4) was prepared through a chemical co-precipitation method. The crystal structure, crystallite size, and phase of the prepared materials are determined by X-Ray Diffraction technique (XRD). The average crystallite size was calculated to be 44 nm, 42 nm, 37 nm, and 35 nm for MnFe2O4, Ni1%Mn(x-1%) Fe2O4, Ni3%Mn(x-3%)Fe2O4, and Ni5%Mn(x_ 5%)Fe2O4, respectively. Fourier Transforms Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technique is used to study the functional groups present in the prepared materials. Surface morphology and elemental compositions of the synthesized nanoparticles were examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). The gas sensing property of the prepared materials was studied with different ppm of ammonia gas (NH3), and the respective response and recovery time was calculated.
