摘要

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle- modified manganese oxide (MnO)- based gas sensors were prepared and investigated to detect two different hazardous gases \(SO_2\) and \(NH_3\) . Two different ZnO-MnO nano- composites with different ratio of MnO inclusions were prepared using cost effective sol–gel method. Both the devices show good responses towards the target gases at room temperature with better response for higher MnO inclusion. Both the devices show distinctly different responses towards \(SO_2\) and \(NH_3\) gases indicating high selectivity. Mathematical model was used to analyze the response curves to identify the response parameters. The parameters can be used as a calibration tool for the device for a particular target gas.
