Abstract In the present work, Cr doped tellurium dioxide nanostructures (CTO NS)(1 wt %, 6 wt %, 8 wt % and 12 wt %) synthesized by co precipitation method and characterized by CV, UV‐Visible, SEM, XRD, XPS spectroscopic analysis. Electron beam deposited thin film of CTO NS having 12 wt % of Cr exhibited EGFET‐pH sensitivity of 62.03 mV/pH at 250 °C in buffer solutions of pH 6–12, linearity 0.9345, drift rate of 1.12 mV/h and deviation of 0.01145 as compared with 1 wt %, 6 wt % and 8 wt % of CTO NS.
