United StatesNew Detectors for Toxic Gases
Research carried out through recently completed project #A-1232 led to the creation of sensors to detect a variety toxic gases and chemical compounds. Carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen oxide and methane can be detected by a range of super sensitive detectors. The sensors use new technology and smaller components based on nanocrystalline semiconductor metal oxide thin film that work at much lower temperatures (25- 100° Celsius) than known analogues. They can be used in different environments such as private homes, commercial buildings, elevators, warehouses, aircraft hangars, aircrafts, ships, and much more. Patents have so far been filed in Armenia, the US, and France.
The project was led by the Yerevan State University and the total funding reached over 320,000$.
Nanocrystalline SnO2 thin-films based sensors for Hydrogen detection (2 Armenian patents, 1 Know-how)
Bi2O3 adsorptive type smoke and NOx sensors for multi-sensor system solutions (Patented in Armenia, the first modification was patented also in USA)
