AB  - Over the past decade, the interest for fabrication of mesoporous metal oxides
has been increased, and that draw attention globally on fabrication and designing
efficient humidity sensors based on these materials. Their unique properties like
high surface area, large pore volume and interconnected pore channels provide
easier adsorption and facile transportation of water molecules across their surfaces.
Nanocasting as technique based on various silica hard templates is one of usually
utilized and efficient methods for processing of such materials.
Silica SBA-15 as a template is currently obtaining exclusive attention in
applications like photocatalysis, sensing, drug delivery and nanomaterials
fabrication since it has high surface area, pore volume, excellent thermal stability
and distinctive interconnectivity of its tunable pore channels. In this work, we used
SBA-15 as a hard template for production of SnO2 humidity sensor. SBA-15
assisted mesoporous SnO2 has been synthesized using incipient wet impregnation
process, consisting of two loading/calcination steps to fill up 15 % of the total pore
volume of template with SnO2, followed by template etching with 2M NaOH.
A few micron thick SnO2 film has been fabricated by applying the paste by the
doctor blade applicator onto alumina substrate provided with interdigitated Pt/Ag
electrodes. The sensor response of the film towards humidity was tested measuring
the change of the complex impedance of the sample exposed to a humid climate
chamber environment with the relative humidity, RH ranging from 40 % to 90 % at
25 °C and from 30 % to 90 % at 50 °C. This study demonstrated that nanocast SnO2
possesses sufficient quality to be used as a material for fabrication of high
performance humidity sensors.

AB  - In this contribution, the mesoporous SnO2 was fabricated via nanocasting,
where the hydrothermally processed silica KIT-5 with a high specific surface area of
610 m2/g and pore volume of 0.72 cm3/g was used as a hard template. Following the
two precursor loading/calcination steps of the wet impregnation process, the
appropriate amount of the Sn- precursor solution was used to fill up 15 % of the total
pore volume of the silica template with SnO2. This synthesis route with a template
etching by 2M NaOH solution resulted in nanocast SnO2 with Brunauer-EmmettTeller specific surface area of 33 m2
/g, where SnO2 nanoparticles of 8–10 nm
formed the ordered domains along with fractions of disordered regions, as confirmed
by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda model from the desorption branch of the N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, the pore size of SnO2 is centered at 8.6 nm, demonstrating quite open and accessible pore structure of the material. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement confirmed the formation of the tetragonal SnO2 phase. Because of the low Si content after the template etching (< 0.5%, confirmed by EDS analysis),
formation of substantial amounts of SnSiO3 can be excluded, and no evidence for
such phase was found in the XRD.
The as prepared SnO2 nanocast was further used to fabricate a few micron thick
film by the doctor blade technique on alumina substrate provided with interdigitated
Pt/Ag electrodes. The sensor response of the film towards humidity was tested
measuring the change of the complex impedance of the sample exposed to a humid
climate chamber environment with the relative humidity (RH) ranging from 40% to
90% at 25 °C and from 30% to 90% at 50 °C. The value of impedance measured at
100 Hz and 25 oC was reduced 132 times within the RH range of 40 % to 90 %,
while it tended to decrease in a moderate manner at 50 °C under the same frequency
and RH range. The film exhibited remarkably rapid response (4 s) and quick
recovery time (6 s) when exposed to RH change from 37% to 90% at 25 °C. Such a
fast response/recovery time and relatively low hysteresis of 4% observed under 50
% RH and 25 °C indicate the promising potentials of nanocasted SnO2 to be used as
an active layer for humidity sensors.

AB  - Previously synthesized nanocrystalline ZnO doped with cobalt and manganese, Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 were the precursors for high voltage varistors preparation. Varistor ceramics were sintered at 750 degrees C, 770 degrees C or 900 degrees C for 1 h. An amount of 30 mass% of secondary phases and sintering temperature of 770 degrees C were found to be optimal for obtaining varistor with prominent properties. Achieved density was 97% of the theoretical value. Post-sintering phase composition included ZnO, gamma-Bi2O3 and pyrochlore-type with Zn2Bi3Sb3O14 nominal formula. Fine grained microstructure was accompanied with good phase distribution and excellent electrical characteristics: extraordinary high breakdown field of 3200 V mm(-1), high nonlinearity coefficients of 71 and 51 in 0.1-1 and 1-10 mA cm(-2) current density ranges, respectively, and low leakage current of 7.7 mu A cm(-2).

AB  - Zinc oxide nanopowders were synthesized by the sol-gel method from an ethanol solution of zinc acetate dihydrate. Detailed structural and microstructural investigations were carried out using x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses, as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The intermediate compound of the reaction was layered zinc hydroxide acetate that further transforms into hexagonally shaped ZnO crystalline nanoplates (d(m) = 4 nm), which aggregate into larger spherical particles. According to the TEM analysis the ZnO nanoparticles were self-assembled into larger particles with the same orientation, i.e. aligned lattice planes of the particles. A further solvothermal treatment resulted in hexagonal, prismatic ZnO mesocrystals.
