Fabrication And Characterization Of Nanostructured Hybrid Materials For Gas Sensing Applications, Husam H.D Altakroori

Theses

The rapid increase in environmental pollution has become a major concern, and its monitoring has evolved into a priority for human health. This fact has directed the researchers to make more efforts to find new techniques for the detection of gases hazardous to the environment and human health. With the tremendous advances in technology, gas-sensing devices have become popularly used in environmental applications to detect various toxic gases at very low concentrations.

This work aims at developing high-performance gas sensors with enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, low response time, and low operating temperature. The proposed sensors are fabricated based on the integration …
