Wide‐Range Adaptive Metal Oxide for Hydrogen Sulfide Detection From Earth to Space‐Like Environments
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a gas sensing platform based on Cu‐doped SnO2 microspheres that operates reliably from ambient to space‐like conditions. The sensor maintains performance across vacuum and cryogenic environments, bypassing traditional oxygen‐mediated mechanisms, utilizing direct chemisorption and interfacial charge transfer.
