Abstract: Advancement of gas sensor technology over the past few decades has led to significant progress in pollution control and thereby, to environmental protection An excellent example is the control of automobile exhaust emissions, made possible by the use of oxygen gas sensors Since early 1970's there have been sustained studies on oxygen sensors and has led to development of sensors for various applications with varying performance characteristics Solid electrolyte based potentiometric, amperometric and metal oxide based semiconducting resistive type sensors are used for high temperature applications For solution-based pollution monitoring, dissolved oxygen sensors based on Clark electrodes have played a major role More recently, for biological and medical applications, optical oxygen sensors are beginning to have an impact In this review, we focus on both high temperature as well as dissolved oxygen sensors and compare the different methods of oxygen sensing, discuss underlying principles, and outline the designs and specific applications

Abstract: Oxygen detection techniques are used in various fields, such as chemical or clinical analysis and environmental monitoring. Recently, a variety of devices and sensors based on photo-luminescent or photoexcited state quenching of organic dyes have been developed to measure oxygen partial pressure on the solid surface. Many optical oxygen sensors are composed of organic dyes, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene, pyrene derivative etc.), transition metal complexes (Ru2+, Os2+, Ir3+ etc.), metalloporphyrins (Pt2+, Pd2+, Zn2+ etc.) and fullerene (C60 and C70) immobilized in oxygen permeable polymer films. In this review, the properties of various oxygen permeable polymers for matrix of optical oxygen sensor and various dye probes for oxygen sensing are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of perovskite oxides in semiconductor-based gas sensors is discussed, with the most common oxide used in such sensors being tin oxide, although other simple oxides and some mixed oxides, are also used.
Abstract: The oxygen partial pressure dependence of the point defect concentration, and thus conductivity, in oxide semiconductors allows for their use in high-temperature gas sensors. In addition to responding to oxygen partial pressure, the resistance of oxide semiconductors can be affected by other gases, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and ethanol, which creates opportunities for developing new sensors, but also leads to interference problems. The most common oxide used in such sensors is tin oxide, although other simple oxides, and some mixed oxides, are also used. The focus of this paper is on the use of perovskite oxides in semiconductor-based gas sensors. The perovskite structure, with two differently-sized cations, is amenable to a variety of dopant additions. This flexibility allows for control of the transport and catalytic properties, which are important for improving sensor performance.
