Among many applications in different fields of science and technology the ionic liquids (ILs) are also utilised in chemical sensors yielding improvement of their operation parameters (Buzzeo, 2004; Wei and Ivaska, 2008; Silvester, 2011; Gebicki et al., 2013). Some of these chemical sensors are the components of the devices, which resemble human sense of smell as far as their operation is concerned. These devices are named electronic noses (Gardner and Bartlett, 1996; Rock et al., 2008; Wilson and Baietto, 2009). Literature provides information that the ILs also found application as a component of the electronic nose instruments (Liang et al., 2002; Rehman et al., 2011). This contribution presents the principle of operation of these chemical sensors, in which the ILs are used and which are the components of the electronic nose instruments or possess a potential to be incorporated in the electronic nose structure in future.
