Laser sintering ZnO thick films for gas sensor application

Photoluminescence, electrical and structural properties of ZnO films, grown by ALD at low temperature

“…Zinc oxide has been extensively investigated in the past few years mainly because of a large variety of potential applications. For example, it can be used in light-emitting diodes and transistors [1,2], as gas sensors [3], and transparent conductive oxide in solar cells [4,5]. New kinds of applications evolved recently are related to novel electronic devices which require a low thermal budget for their production.…”

Controlled fabrication of nanostructured ZnO particles and porous thin films via a modified chemical bath deposition method

“…With the development of research on fabrication and applications of ZnO particles and films, more and more valuable research results have verified that the morphology of ZnO particles and films plays the key role for the applications of ZnO in special fields [1][2][3]. So far, a wide variety of ZnO special morphologies [4][5][6][7], complex structures [8,9] and films [10,11] have been fabricated using physical or chemical methods.…”

Multifunctional Screen-Printed TiO2 Nanoparticles Tuned by Laser Irradiation for a Flexible and Scalable UV Detector and Room-Temperature Ethanol Sensor

“…Over the past decade, laser irradiation has been employed in conjunction with diverse MO films and nanostructures. For instance, laser treatment was used to improve the gas-sensing and photocatalytic properties of nickel oxide. , Effect of the laser irradiation on ZnO and SnO 2 was also studied to enhance their electrical and optical properties and surface morphology for transparent electrodes, , field effect transistor, , and gas sensor applications. − Furthermore, interaction of the laser irradiation with TiO 2 was extensively explored but with attention importantly on the enhancement of its dye-sensitized solar cells and photocatalytic performance through optimization of basic parameters of the laser treatment method − even though TiO 2 has other outstanding properties. Indeed, it was identified to be the appropriate material in many fields, including water purification, photocatalysis, , UV and gas sensors, − dye-sensitized solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and in biomedical engineering because of its unique electrical, physical, chemical, and optical properties.…”
