Abstract

At present the use of metal oxide 1D nanomaterials such as nanobelts, nanowires, nanospheres, etc., is the most accepted approach in gas sensor design. Most designers believe that the use of single-crystal or polycrystalline nanowires (NWs) as gas sensors has potential advantages compared to conventional thick-film and thin-film devices because of the intrinsic properties of NWs, such as well-defined geometry, single-crystallinity, and high surface-to-volume ratio. It is expected that this approach can also provide opportunity for considerable improvement of gas sensors stability. Present chapter analyzes these possibilities and describes disadvantages which can limit application of 1D nanostructures in gas sensors. The role of 1-D structures in understanding of gas sensing effect is analyzed as well. Chapter includes 19 figures, 4 Tables and 135 references.
