Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Nano Discs Using Wet Chemical Method for Sensing Applications

Fabrication of novel sensing devices using nano structured semiconducting metal oxide (SMO) is gaining prominence in research in recent years due to its notable properties and reduced cost. Among various SMO like ZnO, SnO2, TiO2, In2O3 etc., ZnO is one of the most promising nanomaterial due to its unique properties and when synthesised in various size and morphology can be used for various applications. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of well aligned ZnO (Zinc Oxide) nano discs using wet chemical process. Wet - Chemical synthesis has emerged as one of the most promising technique towards high-yield and mass production of nanoparticles of desired particle size, shape and size distributions.
