Highly-sensitivity acetone sensors based on spinel-type oxide (NiFe2O4) through optimization of porous structure

Spinel-type oxides have attracted a broad interest in sensing materials research owing to their high catalytic activity and flexibly tunable chemical properties. Here, we report the synthesis of superfine porous NiFe2O4 microspheres by one-step solvothermal approach, in order to fabricate ultra-sensitive acetone sensors for real-time monitoring, relying on the high catalytic activity of NiFe2O4 and effective mass transfer property of porous...
