“…Their selectivity is such that they could be used in a variety of sensor concepts as they are currently being investigated for sensor fabrication. [24] Since metal oxides have so many advantages, including excellent chemical stability, high sensitivity, low cost, simplicity and energy-saving properties, researchers have recently focused on ZnO nanorods in particular, as they are extremely sensitive to any potential changes due to their high surface-to-volume ratio. [25,26] In addition, calcium oxide (CaO) is becoming increasingly important in a number of areas, such as packaging, biomedicine, sensing and catalysis.…”
