CuInO2phase, a p-type semi-conducting oxide was successfully stabilized in thin film form by pulsed laser deposition technique and the deposition parameters were optimized. The gas sensing studies carried out on thin film of CuInO2for different concentrations of NOxexhibited a decrease in resistance, a characteristic of p-type semiconductor. The thin film responded to 4 vppm of NOxin air. The CuInO2thin film did not respond to trace levels of hydrogen, ammonia and petroleum gas at this operating temperature and thus offering selectivity to NOx.

Low cost synthesis of nanostructured metal oxides for gas sensing application at low temperature is nowadays of crucial importance in many fields. Herein, NiO p-type semiconducting nanowires with polycrystalline structure were prepared by a facile and scalable hydrothermal method. Morphology and crystal structure of the NiO nanowires were investigated by scan electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The nanostructured material was then tested as hydrogen sensor showing very good performance in terms of sensor response, stability, absence of drifts, and speed of response and recovery. The selectivity of the NiO sensor to hydrogen towards other gases (ethanol, ammonia, and liquefied petroleum gas) was found to be good.

Nb-loaded hexagonal WO3nanorods with 0–1.0 wt% loading levels were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal and impregnation process and characterized for SO2sensing. Nb-loaded WO3sensing films were produced by spin coating on alumina substrate with interdigitated gold electrodes and annealed at 450°C for 3 h in air. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis showed that spherical, oval, and rod-like Nb nanoparticles with 5–15 nm mean diameter were uniformly dispersed on hexagonal WO3nanorods with 50–250 nm diameter and 100 nm–5 µm length. It was found that the optimal Nb loading level of 0.5 wt% provides substantial enhancement of SO2response but the response became deteriorated at lower and higher loading levels. The 0.50 wt% Nb-loaded WO3nanorod sensing film exhibits the best SO2sensing performances with a high sensor response of ~10 and a short response time of ~6 seconds to 500 ppm of SO2at a relatively low optimal operating temperature of 250°C. Therefore, Nb loading is an effective mean to improve the SO2gas-sensing performances of hydrothermally prepared WO3nanorods.
