Abstract:The relationship between the structure and properties of nanoscale conductometric sensors based on binary mixtures of metal oxides in the detection of reducing gases in the environment is considered. The sensory effect in such systems is determined by the chemisorption of oxygen molecules and the detected gas on the surface of metal oxide catalytically active particles, the transfer of the reaction products to electron-rich nanoparticles, and subsequent reactions. Particular attention is paid to the doping of … Show more
“…This causes a reduction in the oxygen vacancies. 39 The presence of O i causes an expansion in the CuO lattice which can lead to the redshi observed. This may be the reason for the increase in the a and c lattice parameters as found from XRD.…”
Magnesium doping in spray deposited copper oxide thin films enhanced the stable oxygen interstitial defects. It improved the electrical properties while sustaining the favourable optical properties that suit solar cell absorber layer applications.
