Abstract
Resistance gas sensors are often fabricated from semiconducting metal oxides (SMOs) and since surface area serve a decisive role in this type of sensors, development of morphologies with high amount of adsorption sites is essential. In this regards, SMOs with 2D nanosheet (NS) morphology are highly promising for gas sensing because of their good crystallinity and large surface area for providing numerous adsorption sites for gas molecules. However, they also have some shortages like relatively high sensing temperature and weak selectivity. In this review, we have discussed various aspects of SMO gas sensors with NS morphology. Pristine, doped, decorated, and composite SMOs with NS morphologies can be successfully used for the detection of toxic gases. Contents of current review may open new concepts for scientists in this field.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes fundamental aspects, instrumentation, new developments, innovative and novel methods and applications including environmental and clinical field.
Traditional classical analytical methods such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry as well as established instrumentation methods such as flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography, and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemical methods will be considered, provided they show significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.
