Abstract
The nanoporous network of nickel oxide (NiO) thin films have been synthesized by a facile chemical bath deposition method (CBD) at various deposition times. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of annealed NiO films revealed low intense peaks, confirming nanocrystalline nature with cubic structure. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images exhibited well-defined and nanoporous interconnected network. The gas sensing properties of NiO thin films for ammonia gas were investigated. The measurements revealed that the sample deposited at 50min (Ni50) exhibit better gas sensing performance, due to its high surface area and maximum pore-volume available for gas adsorption.
