Realization of Interlinked ZnO Tetrapod Networks for UV Sensor and Room-Temperature Gas Sensor

© 2015 American Chemical Society. Here, interlinked ZnO tetrapod networks (ITN-ZnO) have been realized by using microwave-assisted thermal oxidation. With this simple and fast process, a nanostructured ZnO morphology having tetrapodlike features with leg-to-leg linking is obtained. The electrical an...
