Nanostructured ZnO powders were prepared using ultrasonic atomization technique. These powders were characterized using XRD, SEM, EDAX and TEM. The average grain size was observed to be near about 20 nm. Thick films of this Nanostructured ZnO powder were prepared using screen printing technique. Nanostructured ZnO films are modified using Platinum by dipping pure ZnO films into chloroplatnic acid for different intervals of time. The sensing of the pure and Pt-modified nanostructured ZnO thick films was tested on exposure of hazardous chemical i.e simulants of CWA such as, dimethyl methyl phosphonate, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide and 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide. Both the pure and Pt-ZnO thick films showed higher response to DMMP.
