Abstract

A high sensitive and reliable In2O3 nanowire mat devices are fabricated. Detection of NO2 gas down to ppb levels was achieved. This represents orders-of-magnitude improvement over previously reported metal oxide film or nanowire/nanobelt sensors. Furthermore, this simple device shows certain selectivity to NO2 with other common chemicals such as NH3, O2, CO and H2 around.
