Integration of metal oxide nanowires in metal oxide gas sensors enables a new generation of gas sensor devices, with increased sensitivity and selectivity. For reproducible and stable performance of next generation sensors, the electric properties of integrated nanowires have to be well understood, since the detection principle of metal oxide gas sensors is based on the change in electrical conductivity during gas exposure. We study two different types of nanowires that show promising properties for gas sensor applications with a Scanning Probe Microscope—Scanning Electron Microscope combination. Electron Beam Induced Current and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy measurements with a lateral resolution in the nanometer regime are performed. Our work offers new insights into the dependence of the nanowire work function on its composition and size, and into the local interaction between electron beam and semiconductor nanowires.

: This review paper encompasses a study of metal-oxide and their composite based gas sensors used for the detection of ammonia (NH3) gas. Metal-oxide has come into view as an encouraging choice in the gas sensor industry. This review paper focuses on the ammonia sensing principle of the metal oxides. It also includes various approaches adopted for increasing the gas sensitivity of metal-oxide sensors. Increasing the sensitivity of the ammonia gas sensor includes size effects and doping by metal or other metal oxides which will change the microstructure and morphology of the metal oxides. Different parameters that affect the performances like sensitivity, stability, and selectivity of gas sensors are discussed in this paper. Performances of the most operated metal oxides with strengths and limitations in ammonia gas sensing application are reviewed. The challenges for the development of high sensitive and selective ammonia gas sensor are also discussed.
