摘要

This study focuses on developing a NiO-based Fe2O3:SiO2-rGO sensing nanocomposite using hydrothermal and spin-coating techniques. The structural and gas sensing properties of nanocomposite were thoroughly investigated using advanced characterization methods, such as FTIR, XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and FESEM with EDX. The XRD results confirmed the successful synthesis of the targeted nanocomposites with well-defined phases and structures. FESEM analysis revealed a uniform film surface featuring spherical particles with increased surface roughness making Fe2O3:SiO2-rGO-NiO nanocomposite, a key factor for enhancing gas sensing performance. Raman spectroscopy indicated a reduced intensity ratio for Fe2O3:SiO2-rGO-NiO compared to other compositions, while optical studies demonstrated excellent transparency in the visible wavelength range. Hydrogen gas sensing tests showed that the Fe2O3:SiO2-rGO-NiO nanocomposite delivered exceptional performance. At room temperature, it exhibited a rapid response time of 24 s and a recovery time of 36 s for a 1000 ppm hydrogen concentration. At an elevated temperature of 300 °C, it achieved remarkable sensitivity with response and recovery times of 5 and 14 s, respectively. These results highlight its suitability for hydrogen detection under both ambient and high-temperature conditions. The findings suggest that Fe2O3:SiO2-rGO-NiO thin films have significant potential as cost-effective and efficient hydrogen gas sensors for diverse applications.
