AbstractBias current applied to conductometric gas sensors consisting of individual metal oxide nanowires can be used to heat them up to the temperature necessary for sensing. This approach in combination with the good sensitivity and stability of metal-oxide nanowires, can be used to develop prototypes with low power requirements (few tens of microwatts). Here, we present new sensors devices based on this approach that display fast dynamic performance only limited by the gas-solid interaction kinetics,
