In the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering work on chemical sensors based on nanomaterials was launched in 2006. Then the first results of the sensitivity to chlorine and ammonia (two molecules of chlorine per million molecules of air - 2ppm). To date, other than the nanotubes under investigation on the use of other nanomaterials, and mixtures thereof. In particular, cause a lot of hope on the hyperfine sensors (about 10 atomic layers), a mixture of graphite and carbon nanotubes to nanofibers ZnO. At present we are developing methods to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the developed sensors. Work is underway to improve the design of sensors themselves, and sensitivity and, importantly, selectivity. Developed by small-sized device, which sensor is installed.
