In this paper, the ZnO target was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method and a nanostructured thin film was deposited by the RF (radio frequency) magnetron sputtering method on a Multi-Sensor-Platform. The obtained ZnO nanostructured film was investigated as the sensing material. Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis indicated the existence of La in the synthesized ZnO material. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of the film showed the grain sizes in the range of 20–40 nm. Sensor performance characteristics such as a dynamic response, response and recovery times, and ethanol detection range were investigated at 50–300 °C. A sensitivity was observed at extremely low concentrations of ethanol (0.7 ppm). The minimum response and recovery times of the sensor corresponding to 675 ppm ethanol vapor concentration at 250 °C were found to be 14 s and 61 s, respectively. The sensor showed a high response, good selectivity, fast response/recovery behavior, excellent repeatability toward ethanol vapor, and low sensitivity toward humidity. These characteristics enable the use of a ZnO based sensor for ethanol detecting applications.

Thin-film hydrogen peroxide vapor sensors made from Co-doped SnO2 and La-doped ZnO were manufactured using the high-frequency magnetron sputtering method. Thicknesses of deposited doped metal oxide films were measured and their morphology was investigated. The gas sensing characteristics of the prepared sensors were measured at different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide vapors and different operating temperatures of the sensor. It was found that both sensors made from doped metal oxides SnO2 and ZnO exhibit a sufficient response to 10 ppm of hydrogen peroxide vapors at the 200 and 220 °C operating temperature, respectively. It was established that the dependencies of the response on hydrogen peroxide vapor concentration have a linear character for prepared structures at the 150 °C operating temperature and can be used for determination of hydrogen peroxide vapor concentration.

Gas sensors made from carbon nanotubes without their doping and functionalization have serious shortcomings. Analysis of physics and techniques of decoration (functionalization) of carbon nanotubes using organic polymers, doping with impurities, metallic nanoparticle/nanoclusters is carried out. The development of metal oxide nanocomposite sensors decorated with carbon nanotubes is very promising for realization of detectors of different important gases with dramatically improved response, better time characteristics and smaller consumed power.
