%X Wurtzite hexagonal ZnO semiconductor nano-rods (NRs) thin films were grown on silicon substrates
and silver wire with diameter equal 68 nm. Sol gel (SG) and aqueous chemical growth (ACG)
methods by two steps of preparation (seed layers and nano-rod growth) are used for samples
preparation. The structural and morphological properties are evaluated using X-ray diffraction
(XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The proposed iron ion sensor has shown good linearity
for a wide concentration range from 0.078 M/L to 0.26 M/L of iron ions. The results show
that the electrode is highly sensitive to iron ions with a slope around 47.8 mV/decade with a regression
coefficient R<sup>2</sup> = 0.96.
