Abstract: Progress in both fundamental and applied research of nanophase tin oxide gas-sensitive materials was reviewed with emphasis on the application of nanotechnology and thin-film technology to produce tin oxide sensors. Current status and future prospects of the integrated array of tin oxide sensors used in electronic nose that simulates the human nose were also presented.

Key words: nanophase tin oxide, gas sensor, thin-film, array, electronic nose
