• concentration within a metal oxide film is known to influence its bandgap and work function values. As OV increases, there is a corresponding rise in electron concentration within the bandgap region, which results in the formation of certain localized electronic states associated with these vacancy defects

• performance of MOS@rGO can further be improved by either chemical doping or by combination with a transition metal as ternary component [38]. Iron oxide-doped WO3 films showed improved NO2 sensing at room temperature, when adding a layer of 16 nm p-type rGO on the metal oxide film [39]. Nickel-doped SnO2

• properties, a single metal-oxide film can have a CO response that is a factor of about 5 lower than that of H2, evident from a plasmon peak shift of 0.6 nm for 1000 ppm of CO as opposed to 3.3 nm for 1000 ppm of H2. Conclusion In this work, we have demonstrated that morphological modification of a Au-YSZ
