Overview of Nickel Oxide (NiO) Thin Films for Gas Sensing Applications | Chapter 5 | New Trends in Physical Science Research Vol. 5

 Due to the release of different hazardous gases from our daily activities, environmental pollution has recently become a severe concern. Many researchers have been driven by these challenges to develop and manufacture low-cost high-performance gas sensors that can detect harmful chemicals and monitor their emission in order to preserve the environment and human health. Nickel oxide (NiO) is a semiconducting metal oxide compound that can be examined as a possible gas sensing material. This chapter focuses on an overview of the various methods for synthesis of NiO thin films, as well as the spray pyrolysis method for synthesis of NiO thin films. We also explore the effect of film thickness on the crystallinity and functional characteristics of NiO thin films as they are deposited. The gas sensing measurements utilising NiO thin films produced at optimal nickel (Ni) concentrations are discussed in this chapter.
