Nitrous oxide in the earth's atmosphere contributes to catalytic stratospheric ozone destruction and is also a greenhouse gas component. A precise budgetary accounting of N(2)O sources has remained elusive, and there is an apparent lack of source identification. One source of N(2)O is as a by-product in the manufacture of nylon, specifically in the preparation of adipic acid. Characterization o...

Semiconductor metal oxides (SMOxs) are widely used in gas sensors due to their excellent sensing properties, abundance, and ease of manufacture. The best examples these materials SnO 2 TiO that have wide band gap offer unique set functional properties; the most important which electrical conductivity high surface reactivity. There has been a constant development SMOx sensor literature accompani...
