/ZnO (B/Z) based sensors, fabricated via a facile solution-based method is reported. The structural properties analysis of all the sensors fabricated reveals the formation of characteristic respective dominant peaks (hexagonal, tetragonal, and heterostructure (hexagonal and tetragonal) for B, Z, and B/Z respectively). The decrease of band gap (2.97 eV-B/Z) due to double heterojunction formation is evident from tauc plot analysis. The fabricated multi-sensing sensors were subjected to both gas (CO (carbon monoxide) & (CH
