UV-activated ZnO films on a flexible substrate for room temperature O2 and H2O sensing

Abstract We demonstrate that UV-light activation of polycrystalline ZnO films on flexible polyimide (Kapton) substrates can be used to detect and differentiate between environmental changes in oxygen and water vapor. The in-plane resistive and impedance properties of ZnO films, fabricated from bacte...
