Iranian Researchers Create Cost-Effective Nano Sensor for Formaldehyde Detection
A team from Amirkabir University of Technology has developed a low-cost gas sensor to detect formaldehyde, enhancing indoor air quality monitoring. This advancement could lead to improved medical diagnostics and commercial applications.

Researchers at Amirkabir University of Technology have created a low-cost gas sensor for the detection of formaldehyde, a hazardous compound linked to respiratory issues and cancer. The sensor utilizes nanostructured perovskite semiconductors and features a unique three-dimensional porous design, enhancing sensitivity with a response value exceeding 9 at 10 parts per million.
The team encountered challenges in constructing a gas-measurement chamber due to limited resources. Current formaldehyde sensor development in Iran is minimal, particularly for healthcare applications. The research aims to facilitate domestic gas-sensing technology advancements and is exploring software for real-time gas concentration data.
