Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
New and Improved nanostructured gas sensors are being applied to an ever increasing variety of applications - from analysis of automobile emission, monitoring of packaged foods, remote forensic examination for explosives, to rural applications such as online monitoring of the ripening of crops. The objectives of this project are to develop new, compact gas sensors from thin films of semiconducting nanoparticles. The gas sensing arrays will be formed by deposition of Langmuir-Blodgett films of 2 nm nanoparticles and detection will be achieved by monitoring changes to fluorescence emission of the films. The project will involve a collaboration with the European funded CNR-INFM Sensor Laboratory located in the University of Brescia, Italy.
