You can measure the change in resistance with respect to Time in semiconducting material with dynamic flow of different gases (CO2 or NH3 etc.).

There are several methods to measure the resistance that Ravi mentioned. We used wash-coting technique for powders (you may find the details in the following paper:

thank you very much sir (Frank  and Houshang)

for your help

Fairly simple. For a simple chemi-resistive sensor setup you will need

1. Any volume in which gas can be contained (chamber, quartz tube, flat/round bottom flask, glove box etc) with provision for electrical wires for measurement and gas flow (in and out)

2. Substrate on which your semiconducting material is deposited

3. Electrodes on substrate for resistance/current/voltage measurement and the leads from it from inside the gas volume to outer air through leak free feedthrough

4. Gas flow at known concentration/flow rate

5. leak tight arrangement and proper vent of gases
