Resumo

MgAl2O4 is a humidity sensing material, which high melting point requires high sintering temperatures. In this work, manganese oxide was used as a sintering aid to obtain MgAl2O4 samples sintered at 1350°C with a microstructure suitable for humidity sensing. Impedance spectroscopy analyses were performed at several levels of relative humidity, indicating that this correlation is possible within the range of 10-80% of relative humidity.
