  4. Abstract:
  5. Pursuing a sensing structure with a large effective surface area, partial ordered arrays of ZnO nanorods with flower-like structures are introduced for gas sensing applications. Room temperature H2S response of the grown structure shows significant enhancement after modification with Au nanoparticles. High response (about 1270 at 6 ppm H2S gas) and selectivity were achieved by depositing an Au layer with nominal thickness ∼6 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was utilized to describe the H2S sensing mechanism
