The study presents CeO 2 particles synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method using different synthesis times for the analysis of sensitivity to carbon monoxide gas, aiming at its application as a sensor material to prevent poisoning caused by this highly toxic gas. Structural, morphological and spectroscopic and electrical behaviors were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement, transmission electronic microscopy, Raman scattering spectroscopy, optoelectronic characterization chamber and FT-IR. The samples presented fluorite-type cubic structures, increase in crystallinity and particle size with the variation synthesis time from 5 to 8 minutes. From the micrographs it was observed that the nanoparticles initially were spherical with a surface domain (200), and the synthesis time made them cubic/polyhedral with a surface (111), showing differences in defects and influencing in its properties. The sample synthesized at 8 minutes showed the best result with response and recovery time of 16 and 2 seconds, respectively, at 390 °C, therefore promising for the fabrication of CO gas selective sensing device.
Resumo Descreve-se a caracterização da matéria-prima flogopita [KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2] e o processo de fabricação de filtros cerâmicos porosos (FCPs) a partir desta, via método da réplica (esponja polimérica) de forma simples e eficaz. A flogopita foi caracterizada por difratometria de raios X (DRX), espectroscopia no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier por reflexão total atenuada, espectroscopia no UV-vis, termogravimetria, análise térmica diferencial e dilatometria, e os FCPs por microscopia eletrônica de varredura acoplada por espectroscopia por energia dispersiva e pelo método de imersão para determinação da porosidade aparente (PA), absorção de água (AA) e densidade aparente (DA). DRX indicou, além da fase flogopita, as fases caulinita, biotita e goetita para a amostra sem tratamento térmico. A energia de band gap de 3,10 eV foi determinada por UV-vis. A partir das análises térmicas, encontrou-se a temperatura de queima do material entre 1000 e 1200 °C. Determinaram-se PA na faixa de 92% a 95%, AA de 84% a 89% e DA de 0,12 a 0,25 g.cm-3. Os FCPs apresentaram altos teores dos elementos oxigênio, alumínio, silício, ferro e magnésio, além de estruturas celulares interconectadas com perfis circulares e distribuição de tamanho dos poros na faixa de 0,25 a 0,40 mm.
