It has previously been shown that resistance fluctuations in resistive sensors provide enhanced sensitivity and selectivity for gas detection. We report measurements and analysis of non-Gaussian components in nanoparticle Pd z ( WO 3)1- z film gas sensors, with z being 0.01 or 0.12, in different ambients. These components can be characterized by higher-order spectra. Contour plots are given of bispectra, and plots of integrated bispectra and trispectra. The phase of the integrated higher-order spectra is analyzed as well.

Gas sensing can be enhanced by observing resistance fluctuations in Taguchi Gas Sensors. Unfortunately, fluctuation measurements need advanced measurement setups. This paper presents a possibility of fluctuation-enhanced gas sensing that can be utilized in a simplified and cheap gas sensing system. A detailed study has been conducted for two hazardous gases: ammonia ( NH3 ) and hydrogen sulfide ( H2S ) using TGS 826 and TGS 825 resistance sensors. The research was focused on practical application of gas detection by resistance fluctuations for the selected harmful gases. Repeatability of noise measurements was investigated to establish rules for most reliable gas detection by a single gas sensor.

Gas sensors have been object of increasing attention by the scientific community in recent years. For the development of the sensing element, two major trends seem to have appeared. On one hand, the possibility of creating complex structures at the nanoscale level has given rise to ever more sensitive sensors based on metal oxides and metal–polymer combinations. On the other hand, gas biosensors have started to be developed, thanks to their intrinsic ability to be selective for the target analyte. In this review, we analyze the recent progress in both areas and underline their strength, current problems, and future perspectives.

Abstract The potential of Quantum Cascade Laser technology has been recently harnessed in industry, medicine and military to create a range of original infrared gas sensors. These sensors have opened up many new applications due to compact size, excellent sensitivity, robust construction and low power requirements. They rely on infrared absorption spectroscopy to determine identity and quantity of gases. The measurement of these gases has relied on different technologies including multi-pass spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, cavity ring down spectroscopy, and their various modifications. In this review paper some technologies are described in terms of its advantages/disadvantages in many application. The results of own works about methane, ammonia, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, and carbonyl sulfide detection are presented as well

Gas detection alarm system plays a more and more important role in People's Daily life and every field. This paper proposes semiconductor gas sensors and SCM as the core, which could achieves the gas concentration monitoring and alarm functions. The gas monitoring system includes host computer that consists of LabVIEW operating interface and slave computer that constructed with AT89C51 microcomputer and MQ-2 gas sensor.It achieves remote monitoring and controlling housing environment in real-time and has a certain practical value in society.

Gas sensors based on multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) for detecting gaseous molecules of ammoniac (NH3) were developed and investigated. MWCNT film was grown directly by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on Pt electrodes to fabricate sensor device. The CNT based – gas sensor is shown sensitively and selectively to NH3 gas at room temperature.
