Abstract

Field ionization gas sensors have limited application. However, these devices have important advantages. They work by fingerprinting the ionization characteristics of distinct gases and therefore this type of sensors can detect gases regardless of their adsorption energies. The present chapter explains these sensors’ operation and analyzes materials such as CNTs and metal oxide nanorods and nanowires. Their application can considerably improve the operation parameters of field ionization gas sensors. The chapter includes 8 figures and 14 references.
