In this study, for the first time, we report the gas sensing behavior of aerogel‐derived silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) glasses. The SiOC glass pyrolyzed at 1400°C has specific surface area of 150 m 2 /g with pore size in the 2–20 nm range. SiOC sensor shows good response to 5 ppm NO 2 at 300°C. NO 2 response completely disappears at 400°C, and from this temperature SiOC sensor starts respond to H 2 . The optimum sensitivity for H 2 is obtained at 500°C. SiOC sensor is very selective; it is not sensitive to other gases such as acetone vapor or CO , even at high concentrations.
