Abstract

Different methods of material engineering, used for improvement of solid state gas sensors parameters are reviewed in this report. The wide possibilities of material engineering in optimization of gas sensing properties were demonstrated on the example of $SnO_2,\;TiO_2\;and\;In_2O_3$-based sensors.
