| Summary: | 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. |
