Porous Nanostructured Gadolinium Aluminate for High-Sensitivity Humidity Sensors

This paper presents the synthesis of gadolinium aluminate (GdAlO<sub>3</sub>), an oxide compound with a perovskite structure, for applications as a capacitive and/or resistive humidity sensor. Gadolinium aluminate was synthesized by the sol-gel self-combustion method. This method allowed...
