Özet
In this study, we report a chemical precursor-dependent dual effect of doping on the gas-sensing performance of metal oxide semiconducting materials. Our findings challenge the conventional notion that optimal doping consistently enhances gas-sensing properties. Acetate and nitrate salts were used as chemical precursors, lanthanum (La) was used as a dopant, and ZnO was used as a semiconducting material. All materials were synthesized under identical conditions by a two-step process involving dip coating and hydrothermal methods. Gas-sensing results demonstrated an improvement in the performance of the acetate-based doped film and a decline in that of the nitrate-based doped film compared to their respective pure counterparts. Among the produced sensors, 1 wt% La-doped ZnO sensor produced by the acetate precursor proved to be convenient for usages in real markets. It showed superior …
