Abstract

An efficient synthesis of highly crystalline and single phase Zn₂SnO₄ quantum dots (ZTO QDs) with a narrow size distribution was achieved by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis. Printed structures fabricated from aqueous suspensions of ZTO QDs showed typical semiconducting I–V behaviors and were used for reproducible detection of humidity.
