This paper reports a comprehensive investigation of the humidity sensing capabilities of undoped and lanthanum (La) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructured thin films. Undoped and 1–4 mol% La doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via the sol–gel method. The spin coating technique was applied for th...
