Semiconducting Metal Oxides for Gas Sensing

  • 197 Accesses

Abstract

The morphology of semiconducting metal oxides is closely related to their microtextures such as the exposed facets, adsorption–desorption behavior, active site density. These parameters have great influence on the gas sensing performance of the semiconducting metal oxide gas sensor, including selectivity, sensitivity and long-term stability. Therefore, considerable efforts have been devoted to develo** methods for the synthesis of semiconducting metal oxides with controllable morphology, which helps understanding the specific relationships between their sensing performance and the sensing process. This chapter will summarize the synthesis methods for semiconducting metal oxides and the strategies for morphology control and sensing performance improvement.
