ELABORATION AND LAUNCH OF THE SERIES OF NANOSATELLITES WITH RESEARCH MISSIONS ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, THEIR MONITORING, POSTOPERATION AND PROMOTION OF SPACE TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

In this work is presented comparative investigation of the post-electroplating treatment influence on the gas detecting performances of single ZnO nanorod/nanowire, as grown by electrochemical deposition and integrated into nanosensor devices, is presented. Herein, the morphological, optical, chemical, structural, vibrational, and gas sensing properties of the as-electrodeposited and treated samples are investigated and presented in detail. By varying the growth temperature and type of post-growth treatment, the morphology is maintained, whereas the optical and structural properties show increased sample crystallization.
