Optical and sensory properties of ZnO nanofibrous layers grown by magnetron sputtering

This paper presents optical and sensory properties of ZnO nanofirous layers grown by a cost-effective and fast fabrication method based on magnetron sputtering. The as-prepared nanofibrous layers show good conductive properties which are of interest for gas sensing structures. Their application for hydrogen detection is demonstrated in premiere, and the developed H
₂
sensor structure exhibits good response / recovery behavior under ultraviolet (UV) light, and good sensitivity. This method is cost-effective and facile and has a great potential for various sensorial applications.
