Urchin-like ZnOnanorod arrays for gas sensing applications

Abstract

ZnO nanorod assemblies were grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on polycrystalline Al2O3 at 200–300 °C, resulting in urchin-like 1-D ZnO NR arrays with a strong c-axis orientation. Their outstanding gas sensing responses and very low detection limits highlight the potential of the present systems in the production of high efficiency chemical sensors for a variety of applications.
