  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Gas Sensor Materials

Part of the book series: Integrated Analytical Systems ((ANASYS))

Abstract

Metal-metal oxide and metal oxide-metal oxide composites are discussed in present chapter. It is shown that due to the addition in metal oxide matrix either noble metal nanoparticles or second metal oxides, important for gas sensor applications highly sophisticated surface-related properties such as optical, electronic, catalytic, mechanical and chemical can be obtained in complex metal oxides and composites.(непонятно) As a result we receive effective way for improving selectivity and stability of metal oxide conductometric gas sensors. The mechanisms of parameters improvement in metal oxide composites-based gas sensors and disadvantages of mentioned above approach to gas sensor design are also analyzed. Chapter includes 8 figures, 3 Tables and 51 references.
