The paper presents the results of our investigation on the effect of the molecular structure of organic vapors on the characteristics of resistive chemical gas sensors. The sensors were based on tin dioxide and prepared by means of thick film technology. The electrical and catalytic examinations showed that the abstraction of two hydrogen atoms from the organic molecule and formation of a water in result of reaction with a chemisorbed oxygen ion, determine the rate of oxidation reactions, and thus the sensor performance. The rate of the process depends on the order of carbon atoms and Lewis acidity of the molecule. Therefore, any modification of the surface centers of a sensor material, modifies not only the sensor sensitivity, but also its selectivity.

This paper presents the results of a study on the characteristics of semiconductor sensors based on thin SnO films modified with antimony, dysprosium, and silver impurities and dispersed double Pt/Pd catalysts deposited on the surface to detect carbon monoxide (CO). An original technology was developed, and ceramic targets were made from powders of Sn-Sb-O, Sn-Sb-Dy-O, and Sn-Sb-Dy-Ag-O systems synthesized by the sol-gel method. Films of complex composition were obtained by RF magnetron sputtering of the corresponding targets, followed by technological annealing at various temperatures.

Article Synopsis
- A new transparent conductive material, Ta-doped SnO (SnO: Ta), is highlighted as a promising substitute for traditional transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) due to its low surface roughness and low resistivity.
- The text outlines a specific method for creating tin oxide films using hollow cathode gas flow sputtering technology, covering the preparation and cleaning of substrates as well as the deposition process.
- Additionally, it provides guidance for measuring the optical and electrical properties of the resulting films, referencing more detailed procedures from the work of Huo et al. for further information.

A sensitive compound was successfully obtained by coating polyaniline (PANI) on the surface of composite nanoparticles consisting of Au-loaded tin dioxide, named as PANI-Au-SnO, using an polymerization method. NH sensors in thin-film and fiber-shaped forms were prepared by inkjet printing and impregnation methods, respectively, based on PANI-Au-SnO. The response characteristics of these NH sensors developed from composite sensitive materials were investigated in detail.

Human immunoglobulin (HIgG) has gained recognition as a crucial biomarker diagnosing and treating various diseases, particularly in identifying elevated serum levels in conditions like measles and pneumococcal disease. Traditional detection methods, however, are often hindered by inefficiencies, high costs, and potential inaccuracies, underscoring the urgent need for more sensitive, efficient, accurate, and self-calibration methods for HIgG. Here, a novel ZnInS/SnO composites was synthesized, featuring uniformly dispersed SnO nanoparticles on the flower-like ZnInS structure, resulting in a type II heterojunction that promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers.
