Nanostructures for Volatile Organic Compound Detection
Volatile organic compound (VOC) detection is one of the key areas of research across the globe. Functional material development to be used as a sensing material is really a critical task. Alcohol sensors are widely used in industries like petrochemical, drug and food. Several nanoforms (nanorods, nano-tubes, nanowires, nanoflakes, nanotubes) of semiconducting (group II–VI) metal oxides like ZnO and TiO2 are deposited for the use of solid-state gas sensors. VOCs, which are responsible for spoilage of fruits and vegetables during storage, are to be detected in an efficient manner.

Many varieties of VOC are commercially available but ...
