چکیده
A zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod based surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor has been developed and investigated towards hydrogen (H2) gas. The ZnO nanorods were deposited onto a layered ZnO/64° YX LiNbO3 substrate using a liquid solution method. Micro-characterization results revealed that the diameters of ZnO nanorods are around 100 and 40 nm on LiNbO3 and Au (metallization for electrodes), respectively. The sensor was exposed to different concentrations of H2 in synthetic air at operating temperatures between 200°C and 300°C. The study showed that the sensor responded with highest frequency shift at 265°C. At this temperature, stable base-line and fast response and recovery were observed.
