Abstract:

The present study reports on nano-crystalline copper oxide thin films via a simple synthesis from chemical solutions (SCS) followed by two types of thermal annealing, namely rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and conventional thermal annealing (TA). We report on the enhanced ethanol sensing performances of the device structures based on synthesized copper oxide nanocrystals with one and two distinctly different phases, namely Cu2O, CuO, as well as mixed phases CuO/Cu2O.
