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

Abstract

During the last decade, quasi-1D metal oxide nanostructures were proven to be a promising material platform to design new gas sensing elements. This chapter surveys the recent developments of the analytical devices based on multisensor arrays made of metal oxide nanowires. We briefly discuss the advantages and challenges of electronic noses and the major milestones of their development. We show that evolution of the nanowire based electronic noses follows the same trends: from fabrication of the devices based on discrete nanowires to creation of integrated systems made of nanowire mats and finally realization of a monolithic sensor array made from a single nanowire. The parameters and performance of such analytical systems is reviewed and fabrication protocols are discussed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    in other words, to generate “electronic tongue” or biosensor matrices signal.

  2. 2.

    for instance, resistance, capacitance and potential.

  3. 3.

    The influence of surface Ni doping is discussed later in the text.

  4. 4.

    The conducting channel forms a “core” while the near-surface DR represents a “shell” in the nanostructure.

  5. 5.

    which are close to the parameters of the chip designed by Semancik group.
