Influence of polyaniline deposited on Mg towards sensitivity to LPG and CO2

Gas sensors are primarily used in the gas and oil industry and have a very commercial value due to its higher sensitivity properties in detecting minor leakage. As the sensors heterojunction are composed of combination metal oxide and organic polymer, the use of sensor would expect upgrade in term o...
