Description

Increased air pollution in the city and environment affects human health negatively. WHO data shows that 91% of the world's population lives in areas where air quality exceeds the safe levels. Carbon monoxide extremely toxic exposer to about 80-100 parts per million may have a high risk of serious health problems, according to the (NIOSH). In the market, the CO sensors are operated at high temperatures and are not portable. Therefore, there is a great need to develop portable CO sensors that can operate at low temperatures.CO gas was detected by using hematite doped with ruthenium chloride as a sensing material. A simple chemical precipitation method was used to synthesize hematite doped with ruthenium chloride in this study. We examined the characteristics of the synthesized hematite nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer- Emmett-teller (BET), (TGA) Thermogravimetric analysis and the kenosis-Tec machine was used to study the gas sensing properties of the material

key word: doping, XRD, HRTEM,SEM.XPS, BET, TGA, and kenosis Tec machine.
