Abstract

The general purpose of this project consists on the investigation of the conduction mechanisms in nanostructured semiconductor oxides based on pure and lanthanum (La) or europium (Eu) doped titanium or cerium dioxides. The determination of relationship in between micro structure of the sensor films, and its dependency with composition and processing route, along with the electrical properties for gas sensing will be evaluated. In this scope, efforts will be made on the synthesis of the nanostructures through the microwave assisted hydro-thermal route (MAH), on the deposition process via screen-printing technique, along with the sensing behavior of the devices against distinct atmospheres. For the characterizations, Positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS), Complex Impedance spectroscopy (CIS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-rays diffraction (XRD), Scanning and Transmission electron microcopies (SEM, TEM) will be employed. Besides, the electrical conduction mechanisms will be modeled for a poly-crystalline semiconductor in order to elucidate the consequences of intergranular barriers exchanging properties owing to addition of dopants.
