چکیده
In past decades, gas sensors based on the metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) have been studied in diverse field for wide applications. A gas sensor is a device that can be used to detect various gas such as ethanol, LPG, CO2 and CO gases etc. The gas sensors based on MOSs such as SnO2, TiO2, WO3, ZnO, Fe2O3, and In2O3 have an important role in environmental monitor‐ ing, chemical process controlling, personal safety (Q. Wan et al., 2004), industrial process controls, for the detection of toxic environmental pollutants in human health, and for the prevention of hazardous gas leaks, which comes from the manufacturing processes (K. Arshak&I. Gaidan, 2005), wine quality monitoring, and traffic safety (X.F. Song et al., 2009).
