Nanostructured materials have attracted considerable research interest over the recent decades because of their potential applications in nanoengineering and nanotechnology. On the other hand, the developments in nanotechnology are strongly dependent on the availability of new materials with novel and engineered morphologies. Among the novel nanomaterials reported thus far, composite nanofibers (NFs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years. In particular, metal oxide NFs have great potential for the development of gas sensors. Highly sensitive and selective gas sensors can be developed by using composite NFs owing to their large surface area and abundance of grain boundaries. In composite NFs, gas sensing properties can be enhanced greatly by tailoring the conduction channel and surface properties by compositional modifications using the synergistic effects of different materials and forming heterointerfaces. This review focuses on the gas sensing properties of composite NFs synthesized by an electrospinning (ES) method. The synthesis of the composite NFs by the ES method and the sensing mechanisms involved in different types of composite NFs are presented along with the future perspectives of composite NFs.

Research on ultraviolet (UV) light detection has attracted considerable attention from scientific researchers in related fields. It can be said that it is a very important time to accurately monitor the UV irradiation amount according to the wavelength region in real time. The oxide is very diverse in its kind and has the advantage of being able to efficiently control the band gap through band gap engineering. In addition, it is very stable in response to heat and atmospheric oxygen when UV is absorbed. Also, there is a known method that can effectively manufacture oxide nanoparticles and nanorods through various synthesis methods, and researches for improving the sensitivity of UV sensors have been carried out using this method. In this paper, we introduce the materials that can be used as UV sensors among various wide band oxide materials, and review the results of researches of various UV sensors using nano materials.

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films have been intensively utilized in the electric applications, such as, displays, lightings and solar cells due to the good electric conductivity with an excellent transmittance of the visible light. We, herein present an excellent Al-doped ZnO film (AZO), which has been fabricated by co-sputtering method. An as-deposited AZO film had an optical transmittance of 84.78% at 550 nm and a resistivity of $7.8{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$. A rapid annealing process significantly improved the optical transmittance and electrical resistivity of the AZO film to 99.67% and $1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, respectively. The fabricated AZO film was fabricated for a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure. The AZO film-embedding MSM device was highly responsive to a UV light.

The prepartion of various metal oxide nanostructures via hydrothermal method, hydrolysis, thermal evaporation and electrospinning and their applications to chemoresistive sensors have been investigated. Hierarchical and hollow nanostructures prepared by hydrothermal method and hydrolysis showed the high response and fast responding kinetics on account of their high gas accessibility. Thermal evaporation and electrospinning provide the facile routes to prepare catalyst-loaded oxide nanowires and nanofibers, respectively. The loading of noble metal and metal oxide catalyst were effective to achieve rapid response/recovery and selective gas detection.

The measurement of specific gases is based on the reversible conductivity change of sensing materials in semiconductor type gas sensors. For an application as gas sensors of high sensitivity, porous $SnO_2$ films have been fabricated by anodizing of pure Sn foil in oxalic acid and characteristics of anodic tin oxide films have been investigated. Pore diameter and distribution were dependent on process conditions such as electrolyte concentration, applied voltage, anodizing temperature, and time. Characteristics of anodic films were explained with current density-time curves.

본 논문에서는 다중 센서를 선택하는 냄새 인식 시스템에서 최적의 센서 조합을 선택하기 위하여 통계적 분석 기반의 센서 사이의 상관계수를 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 센서 결정 방법은 금속 산화물 반도체(Metal Oxide Semiconductor : MOS) 센서 어레이를 사용하여 냄새 데이터를 획득한 후 획득한 냄새의 상관도를 기반으로 적합한 센서를 결정한다. 우선 측정 대상이 유사한 MOS 가스센서 중 응답의 크기가 작고 변화가 낮은 센서를 제외하여 총 16개의 센서를 선별한다. 입력되는 냄새로부터 16개의 센서를 사용하여 냄새 DB를 구축하고 각 센서별 상관계수를 계산한 후 상관도가 낮은 센서를 선택한다. 선택된 센서는 유사한 응답 특성을 갖는 센서를 제거한 것이며 제안한 방법으로 최적의 센서를 결정 할 수 있다. 제안된 센서 결정 방법의 성능 평가를 위해 꽃 냄새 인식 시스템에 적용하였다. 상관계수를 이용한 꽃 냄새 인식 시스템에 제안한 방법을 적용한 결과로 16개의 센서를 사용할 경우 95.67%의 인식률을 보이는 반면 제안한 센서 결정 방법을 적용한 꽃 냄새 인식 시스템은 6개를 사용한 경우 94.67%, 8개의 센서를 사용한 경우 96%의 인식률을 도출하는 것을 확인하였다.

An evaluation system for an electronic-nose concept using three types of metal oxide gas sensors that react similarly to the human olfactory cells was constructed for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of aroma fragrances. Four types of aroma fragrances (lavender, orange, jasmine, and Roman chamomile), which are commonly used in aromatherapy, were evaluated. All the gas sensors reacted remarkably to the aroma fragrances and the good correlation of r=0.58-0.88 with the aromatic odor intensities by olfaction was confirmed. From the results of the analysis of an electronic-nose concept for classifying the characteristics of aroma oil fragrances, aroma oils could be classified using the fragrance characteristics and oil extraction methods with the cumulative variability contribution rate of 95.65% (F1: 69.65%, F2: 26.03%) by principal component analysis. In the pattern recognition based on the artificial neural network, the four aroma fragrances were 100% recognized through the training data of 56 cases (70%) out of 80 cases, and the pattern recognition rate was 57.1%-71.4% through the validation and testing data of 24 cases (30%). The pattern recognition success rate through all confusion matrices was 82.1%, indicating that the classification of aroma oil fragrances using the three types of gas sensors was successful.

시중에서 판매되는 김을 구입하여 습도가 32%, 43%, 75%, 온도는 $5^{\circ}C,\;15^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$에서 각각 김을 보관 한 후 저장 기간에 따른 김의 품질변화를 metal oxide 센서로 구성된 전자코와 SAW 센서를 바탕으로한 GC(z-Nose)를 이용하여 측정하였다. PCA 분석결과, $5^{\circ}C$, 32%에서 보관한 김의 경우는 저장기간이 지나도 김의 품질변화가 거의 없었다. 이것은 온도와 습도가 모두 낮아 김의 품질변화에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며, RH 43%, RH 75%에서 보관한 김의 경우는 저장기간이 지날수록 제 1 주성분 값이 양의 값$(+0.2{\sim}0.4})$에서 음의 값$(-0.4{\sim}\;-0.2)$으로 변화하는 경향으로 나타났다. RH 43% 보다 75%의 경우가 더 뚜렷한 감소를 보였으며 높은 상대습도 조건에서는 $15^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$에서 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. z-Nose로 얻은 데이터를 패턴 분석한 결과 저장 기간이 지나면서 저장 온도와 습도에 따라 변질된 향시성분의 차이를 보여주었다. 이것은 미생물 수를 측정할 때와 마찬가지의 결과$(r^2=0.87)$를 보였으며 색도와는 크게 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다. 이것으로 보면 전자코를 이용하여 조건을 달리하여 보관한 김의 품질관리를 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

This study proposes a route for surface modification for p-type cobalt oxide-based gas sensors. We deposit a thin layer of Ni on the Co oxide film by sputtering process and annealed at $350^{\circ}C$ for 15 min in air, which changes a typical sputtered film surface into one interlaced with a high density of hemispherical nanoparticles. Our in-depth materials characterization using transmission electron microscopy discloses that the microstructure evolution is the result of an extensive inter-diffusion of Co and Ni, and that the nanoparticles are nickel oxide dissolving some Co. Sensor performance measurement unfolds that the surface modification results in a significant sensitivity enhancement, nearly 200% increase for toluene (at $250^{\circ}C$) and CO (at $200^{\circ}C$) gases in comparison with the undoped samples.

Gas chromatography (GC) separation technology and metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors have been integrated for the effective analysis of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as H₂S, CH₃SH, (CH₃)₂S, and (CH₃)₂S₂. The separation and detection characteristics of the GC/MOS system using diluted standard gases were investigated for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of VSCs. The typical concentrations of the standard gases were 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 ppm. The GC/MOS system successfully separated H₂S, CH₃SH, (CH₃)₂S, and (CH₃)₂S₂ using a celite-filled column. The reproducibility of the retention time measurements was at a 3% relative standard deviation level, and the correlation coefficient (R²) for the VSC concentration was greater than 0.99. In addition, the chromatograms of single and mixed gases were almost identical.
