Use New Approaches to Design Sensors

For example, sensors should be designed based on individual quasi-lD structures such as nanowires, nanobelts, nanotnbes, nanoribbons, nanowhiskers, nanorings, and nanorods (Sysoev et al. 2009 Dai et al. 2002). At present, the nse of individual ID nanostructures is considered one of the most promising directions of structural engineering in attempts to develop a new generation of chemical sensors. It is expected that sensors based on such structures should show better parameter stabiUty in comparison with conventional sensing materials (Sysoev et al. 2009). However, it must be noted that quasi-ID structures also have limitations in thermal stability (see next Chapter).
