Gas sensors play a vital role in public health and safety, industrial process control, and reduction of toxic emissions into the environment. Conductometric gas sensors based on semiconducting metal oxide (SMO, e.g., ZnO, TiO2, and SnO2) thin films are of high interest in many applications due to high sensitivity, small size, and simplicity of measurement
