Abstract

Present article reports the liquefied petroleum gas sensing of TiO2 obtained through ball milling. The milled powder was characterized by XRD, TEM, and UV-visible. Further the ball-milled powder was compressed into a pellet using hydraulic press. This pellet was investigated with the exposure of LPG. Variations in resistance with exposure of LPG to the sensing pellet were recorded. The sensitivity of the sensor was ∼ 11 for 5 vol.% of LPG. Response and recovery times of the sensor were ∼ 100 and 250 s. The sensor was quite sensitive to LPG and results were found reproducible within ±91%.
