Research Objectives and Approach

While nowadays gas sensor is a prevalent technology in medicine, industry and security applications, these tunable nanoscale sensors are expected as a powerful tool to conduct further study of structure-property relationships in materials. My approach is to use soft-eBL to fabricate 1-D (e.g. nanorods and nanowires) gas sensors in order to probe either individual or collective electrical properties of these nanostructures. With various doping and dimension-controlling, gas sensors' sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability are expected to be optimized as our goal.
