Tuning selectivity through cobalt doping in spray pyrolysis deposited ZnO thin films

A holistic analysis of surface, chemical bonding states and mechanical properties of sol-gel synthesized CoZn-oxide coatings complemented by finite element modeling

“…By adopting a suitable synthesis method, one can regulate the structural, chemical and surface morphology, and particle size of a material to be used in the desired technical applications. Nowadays, numerous methods are available to synthesize mixed metal oxide based thin film coatings or nanoparticle structures namely, hydrothermal process, chemical co-precipitation route, laser deposition method, polyol process, thermal decomposition method, electrochemical method, microwave assisted technique, standard ball milling scheme, sol-gel dip coating or spin coating procedure, and thermal evaporation approach [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. The majority of these synthesis methodologies, generally, require complicated working procedures, higher reaction temperatures, high cost machineries, higher energy consumption, longer reaction times, and harmful and toxic organic reagents.…”

Structural and Dielectric Properties of Ba1−xLax(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 Solid Solutions

“…It is believed that doping below the solubility limit increases the crystallites size due to the modulation of the thermodynamical barriers. [ 13 ] The positive enhancements in the crystalline nature of BZN can also be attributed to the lower ionic radius of La compared with that of Ba. It is mentioned that in Sr 2− x Y x CrReO 6 Y doping increased the crystallite size and reduced the microstrain.…”

Socio-economic demands and challenges for non-invasive disease diagnosis through a portable breathalyzer by the incorporation of 2D nanosheets and SMO nanocomposites

“…Moreover, these SMOs can be altered to deliver high sensing performance by varying the concentration of dopant incorporated, controllable morphology, methodology of sensing material preparation and tailoring physical/chemical properties. [83][84][85][86] However, sensitivity and selectivity being a primary sensing performance, various above mentioned optimization trials have been best possibly utilized.…”
