ZnO,SnO and Zn₂SnO₄ sensors with Ag₂O nanoparticles decorated around, respectively were confirmed to have reduced conductivity due to the catalytic activation of ambient oxygen detection triggered by the ethanol pulses associated with residual Ag₂O nanoparticles.This unique reversible catalytic oxidation/redox chemical detection mechanism could bring up new nanoscale chemical sensor design .
