Manufacturing time of breath sensors drastically reduced

A group of researchers has succeeded in producing nanostructured gas sensor devices for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOC) in breath for the purpose of healthcare in time equivalent to or shorter than one tenth of the time required for manufacturing conventional gas sensors. This group improved conventional complicated production methods, developing a simple production method of just sintering substrates applied with materials. This gas sensor’s sensing response was comparable to the top-of-the-line sensors reported all over the world.
