Rapid and highly efficient synthesis strategy for the formation of ZnO NPs.
XRD and Raman analysis confirms the Wurtzite phase of ZnO.
ZnO films are highly sensitive and selective towards Cl2 gas.
ZnO film demonstrates the enhanced response of 1278% to 200 ppm exposure of Cl2 @ 200 °C.
ZnO film is able to detect as low as 5 ppm Cl2 concentration.
