Semiconductor Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: A Review for the Potential of H2S Gas Sensor Application

Abstract

In modern world, gas sensors play important role in many fields of technology used for air pollution, breath analysis, public safety and many others. Gas sensor based semiconductor metal oxide is mostly used in these applications because of low cost, ease-to-use, high sensitivity and lower power consumption. This paper gives an overview about the semiconductor metal oxide and reviews why using it as sensing of gases in electrical applications and then it addresses to the work mechanism of a sensor to sensing H2S gas.
