A gas sensor was fabricated and used to measure and monitor this phenomenon. An alumina substrate with Au, Pt, and Zn layers formed on the electrode was used for the gas sensor fabrication, which was then classified into two types, A and B, representing the graphene spin coating before and after the heat treatment, respectively. Ultrasonication was performed in a 0.01 M aqueous solution, and the variation in the sensing accuracy of the target gas with the operating temperature and conditions was investigated. As a result, compared to the ZnO sensor showing excellent sensing characteristics at 350 \u00b0C, it exhibited excellent sensing characteristics even at a low temperature of 150 \u00b0C, 200 \u00b0C, and 250 \u00b0C.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23010052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]],"date-time":"2022-12-22T02:31:11Z","timestamp":1671676271000},"page":"52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison of Characteristics of a ZnO Gas Sensor Using a Low-Dimensional Carbon Allotrope"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5653-5141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jihoon","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence and Fusion System Engineering, Institute of Global Climate Change and Energy, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8894-2830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaebum","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence and Fusion System Engineering, Institute of Global Climate Change and Energy, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeung-Soo","family":"Huh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy Convergence and Climate Change, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bhandari, M., Wang, J., Jang, D., Nam, I., and Huang, B.
