摘要
In this work, thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) for gas-sensor applications were deposited on platinum coated alumina substrate, using electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) technique. As precursor solution zinc acetate in ethanol was used. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluation showed a porous and homogeneous film morphology and the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) confirmed the composition of the films with no presence of other impurities. The microstructure studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy indicated that the ZnO oxide films are crystallized in a hexagonal wurtzite phase. The films showed good sensitivity to I ppm nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at 300 degrees C while a much lower sensitivity to 12 ppm hydrogen sulphide (H2S). (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
