Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensor technology for gases, and more specifically, to nanofiber based gas sensors capable of operating at high temperatures (e.g., hundreds, thousands of degrees Celsius). In exemplary embodiments, a combination of p-type and n-type nanofiber materials can be combined to create gas sensors that can be used to detect reducing gases with enhanced selectivity/sensitivity.
