Abstract

The nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe) co-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles, Zn0.97Fe0.01Ni0.02O NPs, were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and used for the fabrication of a highly sensitive, reliable and reproducible field effect transistor (FET) sensor for the detection of hexahydropyridine chemical. The highly dense spherical NPs of well-defined crystalline structure of the typical wurtzite hexagonal phase were obtained. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirmed the synthesis of Zn0.97Fe0.01Ni0.02O NPs. The highly accessible FET-sensor was fabricated by depositing Zn0.97Fe0.01Ni0.02O NPs on SiO2/Si substrate and the sensing performances were measured towards the detection of different concentrations of hexahydropyridine chemical. Zn0.97Fe0.01Ni0.02O NPs modified FET-sensor showed the high sensitivity of ∼62.28 μA μM−1 cm-2 and the good detection limit of ∼79 μM with correlation coefficient (R) of ∼0.96405 and a short response time (10 s) towards hexahydropyridine chemical.
