Abstract

We report on a low cost and scalable approach to develop a chemiresistive nitric oxide sensor based on iron oxide nanorods sensing film. The device was found to detect nitric oxide (NO) gas at an optimal temperature of 250 °C. The device required very low bias voltage (i.e., 1 mV) to operate and was sensitive to NO gas in the concentration range 0.5 ppm-2.75 ppm. The response of the device in this range found to be 1.49 (0.5 ppm) - 15.2 (2.75 ppm) with average response and recovery time of less than 10 seconds. The device shows non-linear behavior with average hysteresis error of the sensor around 7. These experimental findings were supported with the density functional theory calculations. These features along with high stability and decent repeatability of the nanorod-based gas sensing device makes it a worthwhile alternative to current available technology.
