Enhanced detection of low concentration volatile organic compounds using advanced doped zinc oxide sensors.

Pure zinc oxide nanoparticles, as well as those doped with 3% calcium, aluminum, and gallium, were synthesized using a sol-gel method and then deposited onto an alumina substrate for sensing tests. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized using a variety of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) measurements, to examine their structural, morphological, and optical properties. The prepared nanoparticles were found to have the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO with a 63 space group.

Light-enhanced electrical behavior of a Au/Al-doped ZnO/p-Si/Al heterostructure: insights from impedance and current-voltage analysis.

In this study, we meticulously deposited an Al-doped ZnO nanoparticle thin film on a p-type silicon substrate using the precise sputtering method. We conducted a comprehensive exploration of the film's structure, morphology, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed its polycrystalline wurtzite configuration with a dominant (002) orientation.
