Abstract

In the present work, the effect of indium (In) doping on the various properties of the zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films was investigated. The pure and 5% In doped ZnO thin films have been synthesized via the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method on glass substrates. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis clearly indicated the well-crystalline wurtzite structure of ZnO and 5% In-ZnO films. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) study depicted the formation of granular and nanoflower structures on the surface of the synthesized films. The band-gap energy and the grain size values of 5% In-ZnO were found to be 3.32 eV and 22.33 nm, respectively. Also, the indium incorporation into ZnO made a significant change on the structural, morphological properties, and enhanced the gas-sensing performance of ZnO host material.
