Mg-doped zinc oxide (Zn 1-x Mg x O) (0<x<0.8) nanostructure material is synthesized via a coprecipitation method using chemical route for application in sensing devices. The X-ray diffraction performed for analysis, confirms the growth of pure ZnO phase. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) suggest the pure phase formation of ZnO. FTIR spectra also shows the presence of bands associated with CO 2 gas molecules and moisture present in the atmosphere. The formation of ZnO with no traces of Mg effect visible shift in XRD peak suggests the sample preparation process does not allow enough time to form a nanocomposite of Zn 1-x Mg x O.
