Tuning of the Humidity-Interference in Gas Sensitive Columnar ZnO Structures
Gas microsensors based on columnar zinc oxide structures (rods and needles) with different aspect ratios and wetting properties are developed via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The correlation between their wetting properties and degree of humidity-interference in gas sensing is present...

| description | Gas microsensors based on columnar zinc oxide structures (rods and needles) with different aspect ratios and wetting properties are developed via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The correlation between their wetting properties and degree of humidity-interference in gas sensing is presented. Gas sensing tests of these systems to hydrogen demonstrate noticeable lower humidity-interference for the columnar zinc oxide structures in the form of needles provided of higher hydrophobicity, as opposed to those in the form of rods, suggesting that a tuning of the wetting properties in metal oxides could allow for the humidity-resilient detection of gaseous analytes. |
