MgO-Doped (Zr,Sr)TiO3 Perovskite Humidity Sensors: Microstructural Effects on Water Permeation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Porous (Zr0.5,Sr0.5)TiO3 and MgO (1, 3, 5 mol%) doped ZST nanocomposites have been developed and investigated as humidity sensing elements. The surface area analyser and FESEM data have indicated that the MgO doped perovskites are contained of the macropores and grain size of about 77 to 87 nm. EFTEM proved the reduction of particle size by addition of MgO dopant concentration. While pure ZST shows BET surface area of about 58 m2/g, MgO doped samples exhibit about 12 m2/g. Sensor contained of ZST doped with 3 mol% MgO shows highest sensitivity with about four orders of magnitude change in impedance within the range of 20% to 95% RH.

Strontium-Doped Hematite as a Possible Humidity Sensing Material for Soil Water Content Determination
The aim of this work is to study the sensing behavior of Sr-doped hematite for soil water content measurement. The material was prepared by solid state reaction from commercial hematite and strontium carbonate heat treated at 900 °C. X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used for microstructural characterization of the synthesized powder. Sensors...
متن کاملHumidity sensing properties of (Ba, Sr) TiO3 thin films grown by hydrothermal-electrochemical method
Thin films of (Ba, Sr ) TiO3 ceramic have been grown on Ti electrodes in aqueous solution of (Ba, Sr) (OH)2 by hydrothermalelectrochemical method. These films are porous in nature and adsorb the water vapor when exposed to humid environment. X-ray diffraction data of as grown films shows the presence of four different peaks corresponding to barium strontium titanate. (BST) The scanning electron...

Multiple-layer perovskite Pb0.91La0.09Zr0.65Ti0.35O3/SrTiO3 (PLZT/STO) heterostructures have been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (001) MgO/GaAs substrates. The perovskite layers are single phase with 35nm RMS roughness on the top surface. Electrically induced birefringence in the PLZT layers, resulted in both optical phase and optical amplitude modulation. The application of an elect...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence properties of Pr doped and Tb-Mg codoped CaSnO3 with Perovskite structure
In the survey of photoluminescence properties of rare-earth doped alkaline-earth stannates, CaSnO3 was found to show intense white luminescence by Pr doping and green luminescence by Tb-Mg codoping. Pr-doped CaSnO3 showed not only a red emission line originating from the f-f transition from D2 to H4 state, which is observed in Pr doped CaTiO3 or SrTiO3, but also an intense blue-green line assig...
متن کاملRole of Ca off - Centering in Tuning Ferroelectric Phase Transitions in Ba ( Zr , Ti ) O 3 System
We here report the substitution effects of the smaller Ca for the bulky Ba in the (Ba1-xCax)(Ti-1-yZry)O3 perovskite oxides for two systems (Ba1-xCax)TiO3 with y=0 and (Ba1-xCax)(Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3 with y=0.1. Ca off-centering was found to play a critical role in stabilizing the ferroelectric phase and tuning the polarization states in both systems. It was demonstrated that the atomic displacement d...
