Abstract

This chapter is a kind of introduction to the subject of gas sensing, which is discussed in the following chapters. In particular, the need to control the composition of the gas atmosphere in various fields from environmental monitoring and process control to medicine and agriculture is substantiated. It also provides a classification and description of the principles of operation of various sensors used to detect toxic and explosive gases. The properties of II-VI compounds are compared with those of metal oxides, and a conclusion is made about the prospects of these compounds for the development of efficient gas sensors, such as conductometric and optical gas sensors. Examples of the implementation of such sensors based on II-VI compounds are given.
