Development of room temperature fiber optic gas sensor using clad modified Zn3 (VO4)2

The paper reports the preparation and fiber optic gas sensing characteristic of clad modified Zn3(VO4)2 nanopowder. Ultrafine zinc vanadate nanopowder was obtained by surfactant assisted solution combustion method. The structural characterization and morphological studies of Zn3(VO4)2 nanoparticles were done by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, FT-IR spectra and diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS)....
