“…[11][12][13] Moreover, its gas-sensing character can be improved significantly via the addition of not only noble metals, for example, Pd and Pt, but also more importantly, metal oxide like SnO 2 , ZnO, and TiO 2 . [14][15][16][17] Although it has been known that these cheap oxide additives are capable of altering or improving the gassensing functionality of ZnSnO 3 , little is known about how the loading methods affect the properties, which if well understood, could provide a guideline for mass production on an industrial level. In general, a detailed knowledge on such effect requires a bridging study of microstructures of ZnSnO 3 -based sensors fabricated by different loading ways to the gas-sensing properties, and this has so far been lacking.…”
