Undoped and Nickel-Doped Zinc Oxide Thin Films Deposited by Dip Coating and Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis Methods for Propane and Carbon Monoxide Sensing Applications.

Undoped and nickel-doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited on sodalime glass substrates by utilizing dip coating and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition techniques. In both cases zinc acetate and nickel acetylacetonate were used as zinc precursor and nickel dopant source, respectively. XRD analysis confirms the ZnO wurtzite structure with (002) as the preferential orientation.

Gait Biomarkers Classification by Combining Assembled Algorithms and Deep Learning: Results of a Local Study.

Machine learning, one of the core disciplines of artificial intelligence, is an approach whose main emphasis is analytical model building. In other words, machine learning enables an automaton to make its own decisions based on a previous training process. Machine learning has revolutionized every research sector, including health care, by providing precise and accurate decisions involving minimal human interventions through pattern recognition.

A Study of the CO Sensing Responses of Cu-, Pt- and Pd-Activated SnO₂ Sensors: Effect of Precipitation Agents, Dopants and Doping Methods.

In this work, we report the synthesis of Cu, Pt and Pd doped SnO₂ powders and a comparative study of their CO gas sensing performance. Dopants were incorporated into SnO₂ nanostructures using chemical and impregnation methods by using urea and ammonia as precipitation agents. The synthesized samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM).

CO Gas Sensing Properties of Pure and Cu-Incorporated SnO₂ Nanoparticles: A Study of Cu-Induced Modifications.

Pure and copper (Cu)-incorporated tin oxide (SnO₂) pellet gas sensors with characteristics provoking gas sensitivity were fabricated and used for measuring carbon monoxide (CO) atmospheres. Non-spherical pure SnO₂ nano-structures were prepared by using urea as the precipitation agent. The resultant SnO₂ powders were ball milled and incorporated with a transition metal, Cu, via chemical synthesis method.

Physical characterization and effect of effective surface area on the sensing properties of tin dioxide thin solid films in a propane atmosphere.

The physical properties and the effect of effective surface area (ESA) on the sensing properties of tin dioxide [SnO2] thin films in air and propane [C3H8] atmosphere as a function of operating temperature and gas concentration have been studied in this paper. SnO2 thin films with different estimated thicknesses (50, 100 and 200 nm) were deposited on glass substrates by the chemical spray technique. Besides, they were prepared at two different deposition temperatures (400 and 475 °C).

Chromium and ruthenium-doped zinc oxide thin films for propane sensing applications.

Chromium and ruthenium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Cr) and (ZnO:Ru) thin solid films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by the sol-gel dip-coating method. A 0.6 M solution of zinc acetate dihydrate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine was used as basic solution.
