What is it about?

Cu-doped ZnO nanopowders and their composites of polypyrole (PPY)/CZO were prepared by a gel combustion method and an in-situ polymerization process, respectively. The synthesized nanocomposite are characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR, and TGA studies. Then the PPY/CZO/AgE nanocomposites were used for potential application in chemical sensing by easy and reliable I–V method, where 1, 2 dichlorobenzene (1, 2-DCB) is considered as a model target compound. The chemical sensor performances are exhibited the higher sensitivity, good stability, and repeatability of the sensor enhanced significantly using PPY/CZO/AgE of thin- film with conducting binders on silver electrodes (AgE; Surface area: 0.0216 cm 2). The calibration plot is linear over the large dynamic range (0.35 nM∼ 3.5 mM), where the …
