Abstract
A great challenge in the area of gas detection for new applications is the development of devices which are user-friendly, robust, with low detection limits and allow fast analyses. Conductometric gas sensors possess many of these requisites and have been used from more than half century in a variety of application fields. In this paper we highlights the potential of novel conductometric sensors under development in ongoing projects at the Sensor lab of the University of Messina. Through these examples, new domains in the applications of gas sensors are foreseen.
