  • Facile synthesis of Mn doped ZnO for the sensing of ammonia
    SaravanaVadivu Arunachalam, Subramanian Balamurali, Rajan Suresh, Balasubramanian Selvakumar, Dhanushkodi Sivaganesh
    Chemical Physics Impact, 2024
    The variation of possessions of Mn doped in ZnO thin films grown by SILAR technique for various Mn concentrations presented. Thin films of Mn doped ZnP were deposited and uniformly annealed at 300°C for a 30 min. The annealed films are then characterized by various methods like XRD, SEM, EDAX, VSM respectively. The x-ray diffraction studies confirm the emergence of ZnO. From the SEM, various morphologies were identified based on concentration of the solution bath employed. Due to this reason, spherical shoot, rice and flower morphologies were observed on the surface of the films. These morphologies may influence the application of ammonia gas sensor. From compositional analysis (EDAX), the presence of dopant and the variation in composition of doped materials were estimated. Magnetic studies shows, these films show ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. The ammonia gas response of the Mn doped ZnO thin films varied with Mn concentration of 0, 5 and 10. The outcomes of the gas sensing experiments showed that the Mn doped ZnO thin film was more sensitive to ammonia, but that sensitivity decreased as gas pressure increased. Ammonia gas showed an increase in the acidic surface properties of Mn-doped ZnO thin film. At room temperature, Mn-doped ZnO (0%, 5% and 10%) showed responses of 19.20, 27.61 and 32.26 to 100 ppm NH3 gas, which were significantly higher than those of ZnO. The Mn-doped ZnO sensor shows excellent selectivity compared to ZnO and has good stability.

    Transparent conducting Mn‐doped ZnO thin films have been prepared by successive ionic layer by adsorption reaction (SILAR) method. The deposition conditions have been optimized based on their structure and on the formation of smoothness, adherence, and stoichiometry. The results of the studies by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveal the varieties of structural and morphological modifications feasible with SILAR method. The X‐ray diffraction patterns confirm that the ZnO:Mn has wurtzite structure. The interesting morphological variations with dopant concentration are observed and discussed. The films' quality is comparable with those grown with physical methods and is suitable for spintronic applications. Microsc. Res. Tech. 76:751–755, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
