Cu<sub>x</sub>O Nanostructure-Based Gas Sensors for H<sub>2</sub>S Detection: An Overview

H<sub>2</sub>S gas is a toxic and hazardous byproduct of the oil and gas industries. It paralyzes the olfactory nerves, with concentrations above 100 ppm, resulting in loss of smell; prolonged inhalation may even cause death. One of the most important semiconducting metal oxides for the...
