Metal Oxide Gas Sensors to Study Acetone Detection Considering Their Potential in the Diagnosis of Diabetes: A Review

“…Semiconductor devices capable of detecting the presence of certain types of gases are also of interest due to their possible miniaturization and integration, which allows for complex devices capable of detecting extremely low concentration levels to be achieved [ 71 , 72 ]. Currently, the most interesting semiconductors from the point of view of gas detection are certain metallic oxides: n-type semiconductors such as SnO 2 , ZnO, and TiO 2 , either in a thin or thick film form [ 73 ] or even as a ceramic body [ 74 , 75 ]. The choice of semiconductor as a sensor is limited to these oxides because, normally, the sensor is designed to operate in a certain atmosphere at high temperatures and in aggressive environments, and any other material tends to oxidize.…”
