Abstract

MgAl2O4 spinel powders can be prepared via the oxide one pot synthesis (OOPS) process. Porous ceramic oxide bodies can be produced with these powders and used as humidity-sensing materials. Pellets were characterized by SEM and their electrical properties were measured using impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10-2 to 105 Hz at different relative humidity (RH) levels in the range 4-90%. The spinel pellets made of powder from the OOPS process exhibited good humidity sensitivity with a linear response of the logarithm of resistance with RH in the whole RH range tested.
