Ultra violet sensors based on nanostructured ZnO spheres in network of nanowires: a novel approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ZnO nanostructures consisting of micro spheres in a network of nano wires were synthesized by direct vapor phase method. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy measurements were carried out to understand the chemical nature of the sample. ZnO nanostructures exhibited band edge luminescence at 383 nm. The nanostructure based ZnO thin films were used to fabricate UV sensors. The photoresponse measurements were carried out and the responsivity was measured to be 50 mA W. The rise and decay time measurements were also measured.

Optical Properties of ZnO Nanowires and Nanorods Synthesized by Two Step Oxidation Process
ZnO nanowires with a diameter of 70 nm and nanorods with a diameter in the range of 100-150 nm and two micrometer in length were grown on glass substrates by resistive evaporation method and applying a two step oxidation process at low temperatures, without using any catalyst, template or buffer layer. XRD pattern of these nanostructures indicated a good crystallinity property with wurtzite hex...
متن کاملThe Assessment for Sensitivity of a NO2 Gas Sensor with ZnGa2O4/ZnO Core-Shell Nanowires—a Novel Approach
The application of novel core-shell nanowires composed of ZnGa2O4/ZnO to improve the sensitivity of NO2 gas sensors is demonstrated in this study. The growth of ZnGa2O4/ZnO core-shell nanowires is performed by reactive evaporation on patterned ZnO:Ga/SiO2/Si templates at 600 °C. This is to form the homogeneous structure of the sensors investigated in this report to assess their sensitivity in t...

ZnO nanorods with various lengths were synthesized by a two-stage route (by changing the time of growth between 0-240 min) and were characterized using XRD, SEM, UV–Vis and PL techniques. The SEM and XRD results confirmed a fast growth of (0 0 2) plane in the preferential longitudinal orientation, in contrast to lateral growth and therefore, by increasing the time of hydrothermal growth, nanoro...
متن کاملSynthesis and gas sensing properties of membrane template-grown hollow ZnO nanowires
One-dimensional, hollow nanostructured materials are among the most promising materials for sensing applications owing to their high surface area that facilitates the adsorption of target gases. Accordingly, for gas sensing studies, hollow ZnO nanowires (NWs) with different surface areas were successfully synthesized herein by using polycarbonate membranes with different pore sizes as templates...
