Abstract
The present invention provides a gas detector for detecting a volatile organic compound (VOC) gas. The gas detector comprises at least one transducer comprising at least one nanowire comprising an arene compound to capture a VOC gas. An electronic characteristic of the transducer changes when a VOC gas is captured by the arene compound. The present invention also provides a mobile device; a nanowire; a nanowire matrix; a transducer; a use of a gas detector; a method of detecting a VOC gas; and a method of manufacturing a gas detector.
