Abstract
Electrophoretic-deposited ZnO/CuO film was successfully fabricated. Three different mass ratios of ZnO/CuO were deposited on pencil graphite at 100V applied voltage for 1-minute deposition time. Response of ZnO/CuO film to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas was investigated under room temperature and was found to be affected by the surface morphology. The XRD spectra showed appearance of new peak after exposure to H2S which corresponds to CuS. SEM images showed ZnO/CuO grains with diameter ranging from 0.29pm to 0.411.1m. The electrophoretic-deposited ZnO/CuO showed a good minimum and maximum gas response of 4.52169% and 21.39676%, respectively. ZnO/CuO with 2.0:0.50 mass ratio demonstrated the highest sensitivity response while the lowest response was observed at 2.0:0.10 mass ratio. Keywords: Structure of nanocrystals and nanoparticles (61.46.DO; 11-VI semiconductors (81.05.Dz), Electrodeposition (81.15.Pq)
