Abstract

We have made an effort to demonstrate a simple and facile methodology i.e. electrodeposition for synthesizing oligo(p-phenylenevinylene(OPV) and Zn-OPV nanocomposites films. On combining the benefits of the two materials, it is seen that this structure exhibited more sensitive performance for ammonia sensing. The findings of this study showed that fabricating highly sensitive gas sensors with organic-inorganic semiconductors helped to reduce the operating temperature and, also paved way towards a more selective gas sensor.
