Abstract: Nanomaterials and nanodevices have a major impact in the development of many innovative systems and they are the potential replacement for CMOS technology devices. Nanoelectronic sensors are highly essential in the development of hybrid electric vehicles and autonomous systems. This research paper focuses on the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles and development of nanoelectronic sensing elements for automotive applications and hybrid electric vehicles. Environment friendly ZnO nanoparticles are utilised in this work to avoid harmful gases. ZnO nanoparticles are synthesised using Aloe Vera extracts through mediated synthesis route. Structural and morphological characteristics are experimentally studied using various spectroscopic and microscopic measures. ZnO nanomaterial elements and LPG sensing properties were systematically investigated to check the suitability for electric vehicle applications. The effects of operating temperature on gas response, resistance and sensitivity characteristics are analysed using various experiments. The performance of our nanoelectronic sensing element is found to be superior to similar sensing elements in terms of working temperature, percentage response, response time and recovery time.
