Sensor properties of ZnO:Al nanofibres obtained by electrospinning
Abstract
An electrospinning technology have been developed to obtain zinc oxide nanofibres doped with aluminum. Properties of the obtained nanostructures can be controlled by both the composition of a precursor and subsequent annealing treatment. The gas sensors manufactured with the use of ZnO:Al nanofibres exhibit good response to NO2 at relatively low operating temperatures. For some samples it was observed that interaction with ambient NO2 gas causes the change of conductivity from n-type to p-type at higher operating temperatures. This phenomenon was not observed for the samples annealed at higher temperature.
