Abstract: Au-doped α-Fe2O3 nanopowders were prepared by coprecipitation, impregnation, and ultraviolet irradiation methods, respectively. The Au/α-Fe2O3 nanopowders were characterized by TG-DTA, XRD, and TEM. The effects of dopping methods, the Au content, and the calcination temperature on gas-sensing properties of α-Fe2O3 were studied. The results showed that α-Fe2O3 sensors presented much higher sensitivity after doped with Au. Among them, the Au-doped α-Fe2O3 (w(Au)=1.5%, calcinated at 400 ℃) prepared by coprecipitation gave the best sensitivity.
