Role of Heterojunctions of Core-Shell Heterostructures in Gas Sensing.

Heterostructures made from metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) are fundamental for the development of high-performance gas sensors. Since their importance in real applications, a thorough understanding of the transduction mechanism is vital, whether it is related to a heterojunction or simply to the shell and core materials. A better understanding of the sensing response of heterostructured nanomaterials requires the engineering of heterojunctions with well-defined core and shell layers. Here, we introduce a series of prototypes CNT-
