Developing low-cost, realistic low temperature operable ammonia sensor is highly desirable in industrial for environmental monitoring. This paper focuses on the preparation of Ag nanoparticles-loaded SnO 2 /In 2 O 3 ternary composites by combining both indium oxide and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) compounds by hydrothermal method . They both remain as pure In 2 O 3 flakes and the size of each flake matrix is about 2 μm, which indicates that both Ag loading and SnO 2 composite have not damaged or changed the crystal structure of the In 2 O 3 -based composites. The best response gas for the Ag/SnO 2 /In 2 O 3 material was ammonia with a response value of 9.783 at the optimum operating temperature of 160 °C. The difference in each set of data after three cycles of testing was not more than 0.25. The tests showed that the sensor had good reproducibility and sensitivity, and had a low detection limit.

Direct electrochemical ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) epoxidation with water (H 2 O) represents a promising approach for the production of value-added ethylene oxide (EO) in a sustainable way. However, the activity remains limited due to the sluggish activation of C 2 H 4 and the stiff formation of *OH intermediate. This paper describes the design of a Ag/SnO 2 electrocatalyst to achieve efficient electrochemical C 2 H 4 epoxidation with a high faradaic efficiency of 39.4% for EO and a high selectivity of 91.5% at 25 mA/cm 2 in a membrane electrode assembly. Results of in situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectra characterizations and computational calculations reveal that the Ag/SnO 2 interface promotes C 2 H 4 adsorption and activation to obtain *C 2 H 4 . Moreover, electrophilic *OH is generated on the catalyst surface through H 2 O dissociation, which further reacts with *C 2 H 4 to facilitate the formation of *C 2 H 4 OH, contributing to the enhanced electrochemical epoxidation activity. This work would provide general guidance for designing catalysts for electrochemical olefin epoxidation through interface engineering.

It is a novel-effective process for realizing high-efficiency sensing and continuous gas monitoring by introducing precious metals into metal–oxide–semiconductors (MOSs). In this study, Ag is exploited to prepare surface functionalized SnO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and innovative x Ag@SnO 2 /CsPbBr 3 , activating and catalyzing the gas sensing reactions on semiconductors. The results show that the precious metal Ag NPs promote the directional transport of carriers, thus improving the gas sensing performances. In addition, innovative x Ag@SnO 2 /CsPbBr 3 composites originated from Ag@SnO 2 NPs and 3-mercaptopropionic acid treated all-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr 3 are constructed to further accelerate electron transfer on heterointerfaces, enabling continuous and efficient monitoring of ethanolamine (EA) at room temperature. The sensing properties of Ag@SnO 2 /CsPbBr 3 on various volatile organic compounds are investigated. Compared with pure CsPbBr 3 , the EA response of as-prepared 2Ag@SnO 2 /CsPbBr 3 is obviously improved by about sevenfold. The response/recovery time is greatly shortened, besides the good stability. Another interesting result for x Ag@SnO 2 /CsPbBr 3 is the lower limit of detection of 44.43 ppb. The work demonstrates that Ag modification facilitates the adsorption/desorption rate and the response. Furthermore, the catalytic activation of noble metal Ag NPs and the synergistic interaction of SnO 2 /CsPbBr 3 nano-heterojunctions promote EA sensing performances at room temperature.

Different micro-structured SnO 2 powders were synthesized by hydrothermal and chemical co-precipitation methods. The influence of milling process and sintering parameters on the physical properties of Ag/SnO 2 electrical contact materials was investigated. The microstructure and physical properties of Ag/SnO 2 electrical contact materials were characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Conductivity analyzer. The results showed that spherical SnO 2 (s) powders with a diameter about 2 μm were synthesized. With increased milling time, there was a slight decrease in the average sizes of Ag/SnO 2 (s) powders, but no significant difference. The optimal density of 9.545 g∙cm −3 and resistivity of 2.67 μΩ∙cm of Ag/SnO 2 (s) electrical contact materials were obtained after sintering at 860 °C for 6 h in air atmosphere. The promotion of sintering densification and improvement of physical properties of Ag/SnO 2 (s) contact may be due to the combined effects of mechanical activation energy and higher sintering temperature. Using the finite element method, simulation models were developed to interpret the effects of different micro-structured SnO 2 powders on the physical properties of Ag/SnO 2 materials.

The Ag/SnO 2 electrical contact materials with different doping concentration of Zr and Fe were successfully fabricated through self-assembly precipitation and powder metallurgy method. The microstructures of Ag-SnO 2 composite powders and the prepared Ag/SnO 2 contact materials were investigated by a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with EDS and EBSD systems. The results showed that the SnO 2 nanoparticles with typical geometric shapes were formed and distributed in Ag matrix. The electrical conductivity of the Ag/SnO 2 materials was significantly increased by 16 percent with the doping of 3 wt% ZrO 2 in SnO 2 . The surface morphology of the Ag/SnO 2 materials after arc erosion was further characterized. The formation of the Sn(Zr)O 2 and Sn(Fe)O 2 solid solution in Ag/SnO 2 significantly improved the arc dispersion and arc erosion resistance. This work can offer a novel approach to design Ag/SnO 2 contact materials for good electrical performances.

To overcome the inherent limitations of Ag–SnO 2 electrical contact materials, this study employed a combined strategy of In 2 O 3 doping and hot pressing sintering, establishing a direct interrelationship among material composition, microstructural evolution, electrical conductivity, and microstrain. Four Ag–SnO 2 –In 2 O 3 powder compositions were synthesized, and the effects of conventional sintering versus hot pressing sintering on microstructure and functional properties were systematically investigated. Results show that hot pressing sintering enables near-complete densification (99% relative density) and significantly improves hardness by 42.5% (57.3HV), primarily by suppressing interfacial porosity and refining microstructural uniformity. Optimal In 2 O 3 addition (4 wt%) not only facilitates homogeneous phase distribution but also minimizes bulk resistivity (2.52 × 10 −6 O·cm), leading to the highest electrical conductivity (3.98 × 10 5 S/cm). Rietveld refinement reveals a pronounced reduction in microstrain (0.01% for In 2 O 3 , 1.7% for SnO 2 ) in the best-performing samples, directly linking lattice relaxation and phase stability to enhanced electron mobility. This mechanistic insight provides a foundation for the rational design and optimization of advanced Ag-based electrical contact materials.
