Abstract
Cupric oxide and Zinc oxide nano-crystalline powder were synthesized via liquid-phase method. The samples are prepared in the form of multilayer thick films. The XRD pattern of (CuO-ZnO) system samples show nanocrystalline form and found the desired peaks of composites. FESEM study reveals that the grain size of nanometer order and shows nano- porous structure, which leads to exhibit large surface area, stability and highest response to CO2 gas. The response time is faster than recovery time. The sample C3 sensor (15CuO:85ZnO) offers high sensitivity, rapid response and recovery to CO2 gas.
