Abstract:
Gas detectors have attracted considerable attention for monitoring harmful gases and air pollution because of industry development and the ongoing interest in human health. On the other hand, conventional high-temperature gas detectors are unsuitable for safely detecting harmful gases at high activation temperatures. Photo-activated gas detectors improve gas sensing performance at room temperature and enable low-power operation. This review presents a timely overview of photo-activated gas detectors that use illuminated light instead of thermal energy. Illuminated light assists in gas detection and is classified as visible or ultraviolet light. The research on photo-activated gas detectors is organized according to the type of gas that can be intensively detected. In addition, a development strategy for advancing photo-activated gas detectors is discussed.
