Abstract

Highly sensitive gold nanoparticle decorated zinc oxide nanosheet gas sensors have been fabricated using simple and rapid chemical methods capable of producing a normalised current gain of 2.54 (at 10V) in dry air containing 2.5ppm of hydrogen gas at 200C and a current gain of 382.53 under 125ppm. C...
