Nanoparticles of Ag-Doped ZnO for Ethanol Gas Sensing

Abstract

Nanoparticles of Ag-doped ZnO have been synthesized, characterized, and used to detect ethanol gas. Hydrothermal synthesis and several characterization methods were used to produce the nanoparticles. Nanoparticles created using Ag-doped ZnO have an average diameter of 217nm, are well-crystalline, and display excellent optical characteristics, according to the comprehensive characterizations. An effective ethanol gas sensor was built using the nanoparticles that had been manufactured using Ag-doped ZnO nanoparticles. At 3500C, the recorded gas response for 200 ppm of ethanol gas was 35.815, according to the thorough gas sensing studies.
