چکیده
Zinc oxide is an interesting material for bio and chemical sensors. It is a semiconducting metal oxide with potential as an integrated multisensing sensor platform, which simultaneously detects parameters like change in field effect, mass and surface resistivity. In this investigation we have used resistive sensor measurements with respect to oxygen sensitivity in order to characterize sensing layers based on electrochemically produced ZnO nanoparticles and PE-MOCVD grown ZnO films. Proper annealing procedures were developed in order to get stable sensing properties and the oxygen sensitivity towards operation temperature was investigated. The ZnO nanoparticles showed a considerably increased response to oxygen as compared to the films. Preliminary investigations were also performed regarding the response to other gases present in car exhausts or flue gases.

The high crystallinity ZnO nanoparticles with an average particle diameter 30 nm have been successfully synthesized with a surfactant-mediated method. The cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) and the hydrous metal chlorides (ZnCl2⋅2H2O) appear to be the good candidates for obtaining a high yield of nanoparticles. The structural and morphological characterizations were carr...
