Abstract
In this paper a low ppm-range ethanol sensor - operating at room temperature - is presented. The three types of ZnO2 based hybrid thin films as sensor surfaces consist of semiconductor nanoparticles, polyelectrolyte (polyacrylic acid, PAA) and/or mesoporous silica. The thin films were prepared by Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly method and were subjected to reflectometric interference measurements (RIfS) for testing sensorial application. The sensor investigation showed that the detection limit of the thin films is in the sub-ppm range. Applying mesoporous silica as surface coating or interlayers in the sandwich-structured thin film (ZnO/SF) improved the optical response, but the sensitivity showed non-linear characteristic. The thin film with mixed structure (ZnO/PAA/ZnO/SF) showed linear response in the 0.5-12 ppm range with 0.6 nm /ppm sensitivity and acceptable selectivity.
