Lotus-leaf (LL) like ZnO nanostructures are synthesized by simple reflux method.
LL-ZnO nanostructures electrode is utilized for fabricating ethyl acetate chemical sensor.
LL-ZnO exhibits a high sensitivity of ~139.8 µA mM−1 cm−2 and LOD of ∼0.26 mM.
LL-ZnO based electrode presents good electrocatalytic properties and ion adsorption ability.
