Chemically synthesized ZnO nanocrystal-based ethylene sensor operative at natural humid condition
Source abstract
Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile semiconductor material having potential application in sensing areas. Ethylene detection is of great significance in the field of agriculture to reduce losses during the storage of fruits and vegetables. In this study, ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method and utilized as ethylene sensors. ZnO nanocrystal-based sensor demonstrated a large response of 11.7 at room temperature and ~ 70% relative humidity. The limit of detection of the ZnO nanocrystal-based sensor was 10 ppm for ethylene gas. The adsorption performance was simulated via the first-principles study based on the density functional theory to explain the sensing mechanism. The results indicated that the ZnO nanocrystal-based sensor has the potential to be used as a low-cost and efficient ethylene gas sensor.
