In the present study, rapid and highly efficient solid-state synthesis strategy has been successfully employed for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). Herein, prepared ZnO NPs are characterized and used for the fabrication of highly sensitive, selective, and accountable gas sensors. Structural elucidation, surface composition, and morphological investigations of as-synthesized ZnO NPs respectively, are carried out using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction measurement techniques. The gas sensing properties of ZnO NPs studied at various operating temperatures and towards
In this work, we demonstrate an extremely simple but highly effective strategy for the synthesis of various functional metal oxides (MOs) such as ZnO, In2O3, Bi2O3, and SnO2nanoparticles with various distinct shapes at room temperatureviaa solid-state reaction method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
