“…Metal oxide semiconductors, such as, SnO 2 , In 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , ZnO, CuO, WO 3 and their composites have, often, been exploited as sensing materials of these harmful organic compounds at low concentrations. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Noble metal (Ag, Au, Pd and Pt) nanoparticles have, sometimes, been doped or decorated into/on the metal oxide components to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the desired sensing event. [27][28][29][30][31][32] Considering the earth abundance and biogeneticity, Mn 3 O 4 has received a great deal of attention as the model spinel compound due to its unique physical, chemical and structural properties.…”
