One-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanocrystals with different morphologies and sizes including pencil-like, flower-like and needle-like, have been hydrothermally synthesized with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) assisted. This paper focuses on the material synthesis, structure and application for NO 2 sensor. Experimental results show that the sensor based on ZnO nanorods not only had high response to NO 2 but also exhibited high selectivity to CO and CH 4 in same gas concentration.
The response was greatly enhanced by doping Cd of transition metal, the effect of Cd loading on ZnO sensing property has been discussed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis.Index Terms-NO 2 , one-dimensional (1D) ZnO, sensing property, synthesis technology.
