All the samples are orthorhombic structure. The unit cell volume and grain size decreased with an increase of Co content x. The conduction type of the NdFe1–xCoxO3 perovskite oxides changed with the increasing Co content x. When x<0.3, the oxides showed p-type conduction behavior, and then changed to n-type when x>0.3. All the sensors presented higher r...展开更多

Sensors based on the ABO3-type composite oxides materials have an advantage of high stability. The perovskite structures of these compounds are preserved, when an A-site deficiency of some perovskite structure compounds was formed. However, they exhibit particular physical properties. In this paper, La0.90.1FeO3 powder with an orthorhombic perovskite phase was prepared by sol-gel method. The electrical properties and CO-sensing characteristics of the La0.90.1FeO3 were also investigated. The results demonstrated that the La0.90.1FeO3 was a p-type semiconductor material. Compared with LaFeO3, the conductance of La0.90.1FeO3 was better than that of LaFeO3. The sensor based on La0.90.1FeO3 showed excellent CO gas-sensing characteristics.展开更多
