Abstract

Nanotechnology has enabled sensors to detect and sense a very small amount of chemical vapors. Sensors play a major role in our daily life. The use of sensors has made human life easy. One such type of sensor is the Gas sensor made up of Semiconducting metal oxides. These sensors have their own unique features which help in the easy monitoring of toxic gases. Out of all the metal oxide present, the gas sensors made up of ZnO nanostructures are mostly used in the gas sensing industry. ZnO has become a research hotspot of gas-sensing material because of the variation in resistance observed on the surface. These resistance changes are observed due to the adsorption and desorption of gases. In this review, we will be discussing the ZnO nanostructures, their preparation and their applications in the sensing of various toxic and flammable gases.

Keywords: Gas sensors, ZnO, nanostructures, morphology, dopants, sensor response.
