SnO2 nigikoresho cyingenzi cya semiconductor sensor ifite icyuho kinini, aricyo Eg = 3,6 eV mubushyuhe bwicyumba. Kuberako nanomaterial ifite ibiranga ingano ntoya nubuso bunini bwihariye, ibyuka bya gaze yibikoresho birashobora kunozwa cyane. Sensor ya gaze yateguwe nayo ifite sensibilité nyinshi kandi ikoreshwa cyane mugutahura no guhanura imyuka itandukanye ishobora gutwikwa, imyuka ihumanya ibidukikije, imyanda y’inganda n’imyuka yangiza, nka CO, H2S, NOx, H2, CH4, nibindi.
Ubushuhe bwubushuhe bwateguwe hamwe na SnO2 nkibikoresho fatizo bifite porogaramu mugutezimbere ibidukikije murugo, ibyumba byibikoresho byuzuye, amasomero, ububiko bwubuhanzi, ingoro ndangamurage nibindi. Mugukoresha doping-quantitif Co0, Co2O3, Cr2O3, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, nibindi muri SnO2, hashobora gukorwa varistor zifite indangagaciro zitandukanye zo kurwanya, zikoreshwa cyane mumashanyarazi, imiyoboro ya elegitoroniki, nibikoresho byo murugo.
