ABSTRACT
This study proposes the possibility of employing metal iodates as novel gas-sensing materials synthesized using a facile chemical precipitation method. An extensive survey of a library of metal iodates reveals that cobalt, nickel, and copper iodates are useful for gas sensor applications. Material analysis conducted using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal gravity differential temperature analysis, and Raman spectroscopy enables us to understand the thermal behavior and optimize post-annealing conditions. The evaluation of the gas-sensing performance of the specified metal iodates indicates that all of them display p-type sensing behavior and exhibit a high gas response toward different gases a gas response of 18.6 by cobalt iodate to 1.8 ppm of acetone, a gas response of 4.3 by nickel iodate to 1 ppm of NO2, and a gas response of 6.6 by copper iodate to 1.8 ppm of H2S. Further investigation of the temperature-programmed reduction of H2 and polarization-electric field hysteresis analyses elucidates that the high gas response originates from the inherent characteristics of metal iodates, such as the high oxygen-reduction ability of iodine, highlighting the potential of the iodates as novel gas-sensing materials.
