Functional materials for environmental sensors and energy systems

Functional nanomaterials (e.g., nanowires, nanotubes, graphene, metal oxides, carbon nanostructures, large band gap semiconductors, and metals) with new sensing properties (e.g., ppblevel detection, high sensitivity, selectivity) that are self-heating and provide durable operation for low-power devices (tens of μW to tens of mW) are key elements for adequate air-quality measurement at indoor and outdoor levels.
