研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of gas sensing performance of ZnO nanorod ethanol sensors through ALD AZO 3-D coatings.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that ALD AZO 3-D coatings significantly enhance the sensing performance of ZnO nanorod gas sensors to ethanol vapor, especially at lower temperatures. The optimum operating temperature was found to be 320?C, with the sensing response improvement peaking at 25?C room temperature with approximately 200% enhancement.
研究不足
The sensing response improvement decreases with increasing operating temperature. The thickness of AZO coatings needs to be optimized to prevent nanorods from sticking to each other and to maintain a high surface-to-volume ratio.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized the hydrothermal growth method for intrinsic ZnO nanorod synthesis and ALD technology for AZO thin film coatings.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZnO nanorods were grown on Silicon wafers with a ZnO seed layer synthesized by ALD.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Included ALD reaction chamber, diethylzinc, trimethylamine, DI water, and a gas sensor testing system.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Involved the synthesis of ZnO nanorods, ALD coating with AZO thin films, and testing the sensing performance to ethanol vapor.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The sensing response was calculated based on resistance change, and the performance was evaluated in terms of response time and recovery time.
