“…Sensing response within detection limits is, however, a property that can be optimized in various ways. The sensing performance of chemiresistors can be improved by tailoring internal parameters like chemical composition, vacancy, nanostructure, surface morphology, topological polar surface area (TPSA) of analytes, and crystal-micro-electronic structure. − On the other hand, the use of external stimuli like ultraviolet (UV)-visible light excitation and temperature is quite common to increase a sensor’s response. − Application of an external magnetic field to enhance the gas sensing response of chemiresistive materials is a recent breakthrough that can also be used for enhancing a sensor’s response. , The first case of external magnetic field-assisted paramagnetic gas sensing by chemiresistive method by a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) has been reported by our group . In that work, the static external magnetic field generated using a permanent ferrite ring magnet was used to enhance the response of Ni 1– x V x O 1– y toward paramagnetic NO by 30% .…”
