Abstract :
Metal oxides are an appealing class of materials having electrical properties ranging from insulating to conductors. Considerable advances have been made concerning preparation and integration of metal oxides in sensing devices. Different morphologies have been proposed and functional tests have been made in different experimental conditions showing the good performances and also the limitations of metal oxides chemical sensors.
