Metal oxide semiconductor has been widely used for breath analyzer applications. In this work, Acetone gas is the target gas as it an important breath marker for diabetes disease. Among the different p-type metal oxide nanostructures, Nickel oxide nanospheres are used as the sensing material as it is a promising candidate for Acetone sensing. The variation of resistance of the sensing material with the concentration of the target gas was analyzed. As Acetone is a reducing gas, the resistance of the sensing layer was found to increase when the sensing layer was exposed to the target gas. The simulation was done using COMSOL Multiphysics.

Preparation and characterization of different metal oxide (NiO, WO3, ZnO, SnO2 and Nb2O5) nanostructures for chemical sensing are presented. p-Type (NiO) and n-type (WO3, SnO2, ZnO and Nb2O5) metal oxide nanostructures were grown on alumina substrates using evaporation–condensation, thermal oxidation and hydrothermal techniques. Surface morphologies and crystal structures were investigated through scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, different batches of sensors have been prepared, and their sensing performances towards carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide have been explored. Moreover, metal oxide nanowires have been integrated into an electronic nose and successfully applied to discriminate between drinking and contaminated water.
