CHEMICAL SENSORS BASED ON NANOSTRUCTURAL MATERIALS. PART 1. GAS SENSORS. (Review)
Abstract
Analysis of modern methods of preparation of gas sensors than utilize nanostructural materials in the basic construction has been made. Nanostructural materials utilization in the sensor increases specific surface area of its sensitive layer. Two groups of the methods that promote to solve this task were selected. The first one is related to the utilization of nanoporous anodic alumina substrate and/or membrane as sensor template. The second one includes the preparation of the sensitive layers based on the 1D–3D nanostructures. Enhancement of the sensor output characteristics is determined by the collection of advanced physicalchemical properties of nanomaterials and nanostructures utilized in the sensor construction.
