About
Sheng-Li Tan is a materials scientist whose work has advanced the understanding and performance of polymer-based gas sensors. His primary research focuses on conducting polymers and their application in resistive gas and vapour sensing, with a particular emphasis on overcoming the critical limitation of slow response times. In his most-cited work, "Velocity-optimized diffusion for ultra-fast polymer-based resistive gas sensors" (2006), Tan and his co-authors revealed that the response time of these sensors is not inherently limited by the polymer material itself, but rather by the diffusion kinetics of the analyte gas. By optimizing the diffusion velocity, they demonstrated a pathway to achieving ultra-fast response times, challenging the prevailing assumption that conducting polymers are inherently slow. This contribution has been cited 12 times and has helped reshape sensor design strategies, highlighting the importance of structural and morphological control. Tan’s insights have implications for developing next-generation, low-cost, and rapid-response gas sensors for environmental monitoring and safety applications.
