Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Wide Bandgap Semiconductor One-Dimensional Nanostructures for Applications in Nanoelectronics and Nanosensors

چکیده
Wide bandgap semiconductor ZnO, GaN and InN nanowires have displayed the ability to detect many types of gases and biological and chemical species of interest. In this review, we give some recent examples of using these nanowires for applications in pH sensing, glucose detection and hydrogen detection at ppm levels. The wide bandgap materials offer advantages in terms of sensing because of their tolerance to high temperatures, environmental stability and the fact that they are usually piezoelectric. They are also readily integrated with wireless communication circuitry for data transmission.
