gas sensitive metal oxide layers used in fabrication of resistive gas sensors are prepared by different deposition techniques. the technical data reported on some basic and practically important specifications of these devices, although fabricated based on the same gas sensitive oxide, are anomalously different. the influence of the fabrication technique used for the deposition of the gas sensi...

double layer zno/sno2 thin film resistive gas sensors were fabricated by successive pvd of those oxides onto porcelain substrates. the metallic contacts were provided by electron beam evaporation of platinum onto substrates prior to deposition of the gas sensitive layers. deposits were thermally annealed at different temperatures. it was shown that the activation energy of electrical conduction...

in this study, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (fe3o4) with the size range of 20-30 nm were prepared by the modified controlled chemical co-precipitation method from the solution of ferrous/ferric mixed salt-solution in alkaline medium. in this process polyethylene glycol was used as a surfactant to prevent the solution from agglomeration. the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterize...

A potentiometrically tuned-glucose biosensor was fabricated using core-shell nanocomposite based on zinc oxide encapsulated chitosan-graft-poly(vinyl alcohol) (ZnO/CHIT-g-PVAL). In a typical experiment, ZnO/CHIT-g-PVAL core-shell nanocomposite containing <20 nm ZnO nanoparticles was synthesized using wet-chemical method. The glucose responsive bio-electrode, i.e., glucose oxidase/ZnO/chitosan-g...
