Abstract

Nitrogen doped ZnO (N-ZnO) chemiresistive gas sensor was fabricated to improve lower limit of detection (LLOD). N-ZnO was fabricated by mixing ZnO with urea using ball milling method followed by annealing. Both pure ZnO and N-ZnO possess porous morphology. N-ZnO sensor showed a more improved LLOD (20 ppm) toward acetone and ethanol compared to the pure ZnO (LLOD = 1000 ppm) at 150 degrees C which is the lower limit of working temperature for both of the samples. A new understanding on interchangeable n-type and p-type behaviour of NZnO upon exposure to different acetone concentrations was also discussed in this paper.
