“…Metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have attracted considerable interest from many researchers due to their unique properties that allow numerous practical applications [1,2]. Among the MOS, zinc oxide (ZnO) and tin oxide (SnO2) are n-type wide band-gap semiconductors (Eg = 3.2 and 3.6 eV, at 300 K) [4,5].…”

“…Among the MOS, zinc oxide (ZnO) and tin oxide (SnO2) are n-type wide band-gap semiconductors (Eg = 3.2 and 3.6 eV, at 300 K) [4,5]. These compounds have attracted much interest due to their wide range of applications, mainly as chemoresistors [1,6]. The traditional semiconductor gas sensors (e.g., ZnO, WO3, SnO2, and In2O3) have generally found application for use at temperatures >200 °C, hindering the monitoring of gas composition in an environment containing explosive species since high temperature could trigger an explosion [7].…”

Abstract:We report herein the efficiency of microwave-assisted synthesis for obtaining ZnO/SnO2 heterostructures for room-temperature gas-sensing applications. The sensing performances of the traditional oxide materials have been found for applications above 200 °C. However, these temperatures were here reduced to room temperature by considering sensing activity photoactivated by UV light, even for ppb ozone (O3) levels. The heterojunctions exhibited a fast response, total reversibility, and selectivity to oxidizing gases, especially O3 gas. This investigation provides an efficient way to obtain heterostructures exhibiting remarkable properties for practical applications as O3 gas sensor devices.

“…To date, reports indicate that n-type semiconductor materials, such as SnO 2 [2,3], ZnO [4], and TiO 2 [5] are most studied in gas sensing area. By contrast, a limited amount research works on p-type oxide semiconductor gas sensors have been found, the most studied being CuO, Co 3 O 4 , and NiO [6]. However, some sensor parameters such as gas sensitivity and working temperature still need to be improved.…”

In this work, nanostructured ZnCo 2 O 4 was synthesized via a microwave-assisted colloidal method, and its application as gas sensor for the detection of CO was studied. Typical diffraction peaks corresponding to the cubic ZnCo 2 O 4 spinel structure were identified at calcination temperature of 500°C by X-ray powder diffraction. A high degree of porosity in the surface of the nanostructured powder of ZnCo 2 O 4 was observed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, faceted nanoparticles with a pockmarked structure were clearly identified. The estimated average particle size was approximately 75 nm. The formation of ZnCo 2 O 4 material was also confirmed by Raman characterization. Pellets fabricated with nanostructured powder of ZnCo 2 O 4 were tested as sensors using CO gas at different concentrations and temperatures. A high sensitivity value of 305-300 ppm of CO was measured at 300°C, indicating that nanostructured ZnCo 2 O 4 had a high performance in the detection of CO.
