Abstract
In this study, a ZnO nanorods/Graphene/Carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor was fabricated by synthesizing ZnO nanorods through the ultrasonic chemical method, followed by spin-coating with a graphene/CNT composite. Sensors (C1–C3) using ZnO nanorods/Graphene/CNT nanocomposites were prepared with graphene to CNT coating ratios of 9:1, 8:2, and 7:3, respectively, and their response were analyzed. The amount of material deposited during spin-coating more notably influenced the synergic effect of graphene/CNT and ZnO nanorods in sample C1. Sample C1 exhibited a response of 80 for 20 ppm formaldehyde at an operating temperature of 250 °C and displayed selectivity compared with ethanol. Overall, C1 exhibited the strongest reactivity and selectivity toward formaldehyde at 20 ppm.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
