“…They have applications in various electronic, magnetic and high frequency devices from past few decades and their most attractive is in gas sensing [1,2] in environmental protection, explosive gases, combustible gases and to control fermentation in the food industry. Gas detection depends on various properties of material like optical, electrical, calorimetric etc and spinel ferrites possess all above mentioned characteristics and are superior as compared to the other materials like carbonaceous allotropes, carbon polymer composites, conducting polymers etc used as gas sensors [1][2][3]. Among inverse spinel ferrites, the most suitable ferrite used for gas sensor is nickel ferrite and is used for the detection of various gases like chlorine, acetone, NOx, CO, NH 3 , H 2 and H 2 O [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
