“…The high surface-to-volume ratio of these 1D ZnO nanostructures (a higher surface area provides more sites for analyte molecules adsorption) make them much sensitive than ZnO nanoparticles and thin films [12]. Hitherto, 1D ZnO nanostructures with different morphologies have been successfully developed including nanorods [12,13], nanotubes [14], nanowires [15], nanobelts [16,17], and nanofibers [18]. The gas sensing investigation reveals that these nanostructures hold high response to H 2 , CO, NO, H 2 O, and ethanol [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
