Developing high performance gas sensors that are less complicated is a challenge. In this work, a simple-architecture and high performance gas sensors will be designed and fabricated on inter digital electrodes. These gas sensors are made of Co3O4 and NiO intero-faces that are loaded with Er and Pr rare earth metals. These rare earths will bring in their electronic charge dynamics and different ionic radius into the mix. These intero-faces mixtures that are both p-type charge carriers are expected to display superior interplay properties that are beneficial to the gas sensing performance for extremely sensitive, selective and stable at affordable temperatures.
