Modelling of Gas Diffusion In The 3-D Structured Metal Oxide Nanofilm

Abstract

Nanostructures of various materials and arrangements have been shown to be highly effective in the detection of chemical and biological matters. In this paper, a novel self-assembled 3-D nanofilm is described. We present a new computer-aided modelling approach applying a latest scientific knowledge in the field of microfluidics to improve a complex gas sensor design. The right questions are: What kind of 3-D structure is the best and how can we reach the best sensing parameters? Presented computer-aided modelling of gas diffusion in the 3-D nanofilm reveals an opportunity to substantially enhance sensor performance by the appropriate top electrode design.
