Abstract

In this paper, we studied the alcohol-sensing properties of CoMn₂O₄ nanoparticles for the first time. The CoMn₂O₄ nanoparticles were prepared via a simple microwave-assisted colloidal method using cobalt nitrate, manganese nitrate, dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt, and ethylene glycol as a solvent. Various techniques were used to characterize the structural, morphological, and optical properties of CoMn₂O₄. The crystal structure of CoMn₂O₄ was found after calcination at a temperature of 400 °C. The Raman spectrum showed seven vibrational bands, while the optical absorption spectrum showed three bands, confirming the spinel CoMn₂O₄. Morphological analysis revealed that the porous microstructure of CoMn₂O₄ was composed of nanoparticles with a size distribution of 16 to 58 nm. Gas sensors were fabricated with the CoMn₂O₄ powders calcined at 400 °C using the brush-coating method, and experimental results showed that CoMn₂O₄ nanoparticles were more sensitive to n-butanol than isopropanol and ethanol at an operating temperature of 185 °C. The CoMn₂O₄ sensor showed a response of 6.6 at 50 ppm n-butanol with good stability, reproducibility, and repeatability. The present article provides a new sensing material that could be used as an n-butanol sensor with significant benefits for human health.

基于 CoMn2O4 纳米粒子的新型正丁醇检测传感器

本文首次研究了 CoMn2O4 纳米粒子的酒精感应特性。以硝酸钴、硝酸锰、磺基琥珀酸二辛酯钠盐和乙二醇为溶剂，通过简单的微波辅助胶体法制备了 CoMn2O4 纳米粒子。研究人员采用多种技术对 CoMn2O4 的结构、形态和光学特性进行了表征。在 400 °C 温度下煅烧后，发现了 CoMn2O4 的晶体结构。拉曼光谱显示了 7 条振动带，而光学吸收光谱显示了 3 条带，证实了尖晶石 CoMn2O4 的存在。形态分析表明，CoMn2O4 的多孔微结构由尺寸分布为 16 至 58 纳米的纳米颗粒组成。实验结果表明，在工作温度为 185 ℃ 时，CoMn2O4 纳米粒子对正丁醇的灵敏度高于异丙醇和乙醇。CoMn2O4 传感器在 50 ppm 正丁醇浓度下的响应为 6.6，具有良好的稳定性、再现性和重复性。本文提供了一种可用作正丁醇传感器的新型传感材料，对人类健康大有裨益。
