<p>The monitoring of CO2 in our life safety, industrial, and chemical laboratory<br />applications make it an inspiring task. The chemical spray pyrolysis technique<br />was used to prepare CdS/Ag thin films. The nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide<br />thin films were doped with Silver at different doping concentrations (0%, 2%,<br />and 4%). The morphologies, structures, and gas sensing properties of CdS/Ag<br />films are presented. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction<br />(XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The XRD results show that the<br />films are a polycrystalline composition and hexagonal type with a favoured<br />orientation along (111) direction. The average grain size (nm) of AFM is<br />between 75 and 55 nm. As a result, Ag doping changes the sensitivity of the<br />samples respectively with the percentage of doping with time. The synthesis<br />samples show controlling sensitivity and the small response of sensitivity are<br />the key point in this study.</p>
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.
