Graphene-zinc oxide based nanomaterials for gas sensing devices

Herein, we report the preparation of a hybrid material by combination of
modified graphene and ZnO. The morphological and compositional analyses
of the obtained material have been performed by means of scanning
electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The functional
properties of the prepared structures have been investigated for their
application in gas sensor devices. The gas sensing performance of the
hybrid material show that the structure can be used for fabrication of
chemical sensors, as well as in electronic nose technology. (C) 2016 The
