Hydrogen Gas Sensors Based On Nanosrystalline SnO2 Thin Films Grown On Different Substrates Using Sol-Gel Spin Coating Method

Sol–gel spin coating is a low-temperature method (below 100 oC) and possibly the lowest cost method for growing nanocrystalline (NC) tin dioxide (SnO2) on various substrates. NC SnO2 has potential to improve the properties of gas sensor device while also significantly lowering the cost. As-deposited...
