ZnO nanotubes as efficient electrodes for the detection of ethanolamine chemical

Research output: Contribution to conferenceChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanotubes (NTs) thin film is grown on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates by a low temperature solution method and utilized as a smart working electrode for the fabrication of ethanol amine chemical sensors. The synthesized ZnO possessed crystalline tubular morphology with a typical hexagonal wurtzite phase. The aligned ZnO NTs thin film presents a good optical band gap of ~3.31eV which is nearly close to the bulk ZnO nanomaterials. The fabricated ethanolamine chemical sensor based on aligned ZnO NTs thin film electrode shows significantly high sensitivity of ~37.4x10-4mAmM-1cm-2, good linearity of ~0.05 mM-1 mM and the detection limit of ~19.5 mM with a correlation coefficient (R) of ~0.9850.
