The features of conductometric gas sensors based on metal oxide composites are considered. The methods of the composites forming and the advantages of their using in the development of gas sensors are discussed. It is given the analysis of the factors that reduce the effectiveness of the composite using in conductometric gas sensors and can restrict application of nanocomposites in these devices. Technology features of composite synthesis and device fabrication, which should be taken into account while designing and fabricating sensors based on metal oxide composites, are considered. The mechanisms explaining the operation of conductometric gas sensors based on metal oxide composites are also discussed.
