High Sensitivity Humidity Sensor Based on ZnSnO₃Composite Nanocube

Abstract:

The performance of nanocomposites semiconducting material used as a sensor is very much depending upon physical and chemical properties of the material. In this paper we address sensitivity of ZnSnO₃thin film deposited by hydrothermal deposition in terms of its behavior towards humidity variations. The electrical, optical and structural properties of ZnSnO₃thin film deposit at different volume of solvent (50 ml and 70 ml) grown by novel deposition of ZnSnO₃hydrothermal with low temperature 95°C are also reviewed. The sensor performance of ZnSnO₃ thin film prepared at 50 ml volume show high sensitivity towards humidity. Using FESEM it was noted that the nanocube of ZnSnO₃ thin films growth on ZnO template with the size of nanocube is 100 to 140nm by varying the volume of the solvent.
