Resistive Low-Temperature Sensor Based on the SiO<sub>2</sub>ZrO<sub>2</sub> Film for Detection of High Concentrations of NO<sub>2</sub> Gas

The SiO<sub>2</sub>ZrO<sub>2</sub> composite films were prepared by means of sol-gel technology and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The presence of the stable monoclinic ZrO<sub>2</sub>...
