Polypyrrole-Iron Oxide Nanocomposite for Gas Sensing Application

The textbook "Polypyrrole-Iron Oxide Nanocomposite for Gas Sensing Application" offers a comprehensive study of the development of gas sensors based on thin films of polypyrrole (PPy) and iron oxide (Fe2O3). The authors, Sachin Navale and Vikas Patil, analyze various hybrid nanocomposites, including CSA-doped PPy, and their application for the detection of oxidizing and reducing gases such as NO2, Cl2, NH3, CH3OH, C2H5OH, and H2S. The study includes gas sensitivity at different concentrations of target gases under ambient temperature conditions. The performance of the sensors is evaluated based on criteria such as response speed, selectivity, response and recovery times, and stability. Additionally, the sensing mechanism is explained through impedance spectroscopy where applicable. This book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences who are interested in the latest developments in gas sensing technology.
