Abstract

The review describes the workflow of a high-throughput screening process for the rapid identification of new and improved gas sensor materials. Multiple nanoparticulate metal oxides were synthesized via the polyol method, and material diversity was achieved by volume and/or surface doping. The resulting materials were applied as thick films on multielectrode substrates to serve as chemiresistors. This high-throughput approach including automated preparation, complex impedance measurements, and evaluation procedures enables reproducible measurements and their visual representation. Selected examples demonstrate the state of the art for applying high-throughput impedance spectroscopy in search of new sensitive and selective gas sensing materials as well as in analyzing structure–property relations.
