Many efforts are taken on oxide nanostructures over the last twenty years thanks for large number of applications. ZnO thin film is one among the II-VI compound semiconductors and it is composed of hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. ZnO based nanostructures have gained remarkable attention worldwide for the sensing, photo sensing, behaviour as a semiconductor metal oxide in several industries. The main motivation of this thematic review is to research the various deposition techniques of pure and doped oxide nanostructures, and their application in sensing field. This review summarizes the various deposition techniques and main chemical route utilized in the sol-gel synthesis of ZnO thin film and highlights the study of various characterizations. Finally, a large range of uses of ZnO nanostructures in various applications in photo sensing, gas sensing, humidity sensing, and glucose sensor are highlighted during this article.
