Abstract
Purpose - This paper gives an overview about the state of the art and novel technologies used in gas sensing. It also discusses the miniaturization potential of some of these technologies in a comparative way. Design/methodology/approach - In this article we state the most of the methods used in gas sensing discuss their advantages and disadvantages and at last we discuss the ability of their miniaturization comparing between them in terms of their sensing parameters like sensitivity, selectivity and cost>Findings - In this article we will try to cover most of the important methods used in gas sensing and their recent developments. We will also dis-cuss their miniaturization potential trying to find the best candidate among the different types for the aim of miniaturization.Originality/value - In this article, we will review most of the methods used in gas sensing and discuss their miniaturization potential delimiting our research to a certain type of technology or application.
