Spinel-Type Materials Used for Gas Sensing: A Review.

ABSTRACT

Demands for the detection of harmful gas in daily life have arisen for a period and a gas nano-sensor acting as a kind of instrument that can directly detect gas has been of wide concern. The spinel-type nanomaterial is suitable for the research of gas sensors because of its unique structure. However, the existing instability, higher detection limit, and operating temperature of the spinel materials limit the extension of the spinel material sensor. This paper reviews the research progress of spinel materials in gas sensor technology in recent years and lists the common morphological structures and material sensitization methods in combination with previous works.
