Carbon-modified zinc nanorod array has impoved sensing ability
Chinese scientists have developed a highly efficient and chemically stable hydrazine sensor using carbon modified zinc oxide nanorods. Hydrazine is highly neurotoxic and carcinogenic and can cause severe damage to the liver, lungs and kidneys. It is used extensively in industry, and for safety considerations a reliable hydrazine sensor is highly desirable.
