“…The increase in the response of the MnSb 2 O 6 nanoparticles is mainly associated with the increase in the number of propane molecules that react with oxygen chemisorbed on the material’s surface due to the temperature [9,26,27]. Different authors have reported that variations in electrical resistance occur due to the increase in temperature, causing the sensitivity magnitude to increase [5,6,8,26,35,37]. We observed that at 100 and 200 °C, the thermal energy was not enough to generate the oxygen desorption reaction on the pellets’ surface, which led to low changes in the material’s electrical resistance, that is, a poor response was obtained.…”

“…because of the type of microstructure obtained during their synthesis process [2,3,4]. In recent years, antimonates like CoSb 2 O 6 , NiSb 2 O 6 , MgSb 2 O 6 and ZnSb 2 O 6 have been used as potential gas sensors in CO 2 , CO, C 3 H 8 , LPG, H 2 S and NO 2 atmospheres [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. It has been found that such materials possess a high response, which is attributed to the morphology, porosity and nanometric particle size obtained during their preparation [5,6,8,9].…”

Nanoparticles of manganese antimonate (MnSb2O6) were prepared using the microwave-assisted colloidal method for its potential application as a gas sensor. For the synthesis of the oxide, manganese nitrate, antimony chloride, ethylenediamine and ethyl alcohol (as a solvent) were used. The precursor material was calcined at 800 °C in air and analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The oxide crystallized into a hexagonal structure with spatial group P321 and cell parameters a = b = 8.8054 Å and c = 4.7229 Å. The microstructure of the material was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), finding the growth of microrods with a size of around ~10.27 μm and some other particles with an average size of ~1.3 μm. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) studies showed that the optical energy band (Eg) of the oxide was of ~1.79 eV. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses indicated that the size of the nanoparticles was of ~29.5 nm on average. The surface area of the powders was estimated at 14.6 m2/g by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Pellets prepared from the nanoparticles were tested in carbon monoxide (CO) and propane (C3H8) atmospheres at different concentrations (0–500 ppm) and operating temperatures (100, 200 and 300 °C). The pellets were very sensitive to changes in gas concentration and temperature: the response of the material rose as the concentration and temperature increased. The results showed that the MnSb2O6 nanoparticles can be a good candidate to be used as a novel gas sensor.

“…The oxide was identified through the JCPDF card-file 38-1083. According to this, the oxide belongs to the materials with a trirutile-like structure [16], crystallizing with a space group P4 2 /mnm (136) [17][18][19][20][21] and cell parameters = 4.641Å and = 9.223Å. The width of the peaks in the diffractogram is indicative of a small particle size with a low noise level, which means a sample with high crystallinity [22].…”

Micro-and nanoparticles of NiSb 2 O 6 were synthesized by the microwave-assisted colloidal method. Nickel nitrate, antimony chloride, ethylenediamine, and ethyl alcohol were used. The oxide was obtained at 600 ∘ C and was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, showing a trirutile-type structure with cell parameters = 4.641Å, = 9.223Å, and a space group P4 2 /mnm (136). Average crystal size was estimated at ∼31.19 nm, according to the XRD-peaks. The microstructure was scrutinized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), observing microrods measuring ∼3.32 m long and ∼2.71 m wide, and microspheres with an average diameter of ∼8 m; the size of the particles shaping the microspheres was measured in the range of ∼0.22 to 1.8 m. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that nanoparticles were obtained with sizes in the range of 2 to 20 nm (∼10.7 nm on average). Pellets made of oxide's powders were tested in propane (C 3 H 8 ) and carbon monoxide (CO) atmospheres at different concentrations and temperatures. The response of the material increased significantly as the temperature and the concentration of the test gases rose. These results show that NiSb 2 O 6 may be a good candidate for gas sensing applications.

“…On the other hand, other studies report that semiconductor oxides with trirutile-type structure possess interesting detection properties since they are chemically stable and can operate at different temperature ranges (mainly between 200 and 350 • C) [19]. The trirutile-type oxides most commonly employed for this application are CuSb 2 O 6 [20], NiSb 2 O 6 [21], MgSb 2 O 6 [22], ZnSb 2 O 6 [23], and more recently CoSb 2 O 6 [24].…”

“…In the experimental work, the electrical resistance changed when the NiSb 2 O 6 oxide was exposed to LPG and CO 2 . The measurement concentrations were into the interval of 1000 until 5000 ppm [21]. In reference [28], the authors proposed a chemical detector based on NiSb 2 O 6 oxide.…”

Carbon monoxide (CO) is very toxic to health. CO gas can cause intoxication and even death when the concentration is high or there are long exposure times. To detect atmospheres with CO gas concentration detectors are placed. In this work, a novel CO detection device was proposed and applied for CO detection. For its implementation, four stages were developed: Synthesis of nickel antimonite (NiSb2O6) oxide powders, physical characterization of NiSb2O6 powders, Pellet fabrication and sensitivity test in CO atmospheres and electronic circuit implementation where signal adaptation and signal amplification were considered. Experimentally, a chemical sensor was built and characterized, its signal adaptation circuit was implemented and also it was proved using CO concentrations from 1 to 300 ppm with the operating temperatures of 100, 200, and 300 °C. Its optimal operation was at 300 °C. From the experimental results, the CO detection device had excellent functionality because the chemical sensor based on the nickel antimonite oxide had high sensitivity and good electrical response, whereas the DC electronic circuit had good performance.
