The metal oxides/graphene nanocomposites have great application prospects in the fields of electrochemical energy storage and gas sensing detection. However, rational synthesis of such materials with good conductivity and electrochemical activity is the topical challenge for high-performance devices. Here, SnO2/graphene nanocomposite is taken as a typical example and develops a universal synthesis method that overcome these challenges and prepares the oxygen-deficient SnO2 hollow nanospheres/graphene (r-SnO2/GN) nanocomposite with excellent performance for supercapacitors and gas sensors. The electrode r-SnO2/GN exhibits specific capacitance of 947.4 F g−1 at a current density of 2 mA cm−2 and of 640.0 F g−1 even at 20 mA cm−2, showing remarkable rate capability. For gas-sensing application, the sensor r-SnO2/GN showed good sensitivity (~13.8 under 500 ppm) and short response/recovering time toward methane gas. These performance features make r-SnO2/GN nanocomposite a promising candidate for high-performance energy storage devices and gas sensors.

Monitoring and detecting carbon monoxide (CO) are critical because this gas is toxic and harmful to the ecosystem. In this respect, designing high-performance gas sensors for CO detection is necessary. Zinc oxide-based materials are promising for use as CO sensors, owing to their good sensing response, electrical performance, cost-effectiveness, long-term stability, low power consumption, ease of manufacturing, chemical stability, and non-toxicity. Nevertheless, further progress in gas sensing requires improving the selectivity and sensitivity, and lowering the operating temperature. Recently, different strategies have been implemented to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of ZnO to CO, highlighting the doping of ZnO. Many studies concluded that doped ZnO demonstrates better sensing properties than those of undoped ZnO in detecting CO. Therefore, in this review, we analyze and discuss, in detail, the recent advances in doped ZnO for CO sensing applications. First, experimental studies on ZnO doped with transition metals, boron group elements, and alkaline earth metals as CO sensors are comprehensively reviewed. We then focused on analyzing theoretical and combined experimental–theoretical studies. Finally, we present the conclusions and some perspectives for future investigations in the context of advancements in CO sensing using doped ZnO, which include room-temperature gas sensing.

Single crystals of MnIn2Se4 have been grown by the chemical vapour phase transport technique using AlCl3 as the transporting agent. The structure was refined to R = 0.064, Rw, = 0.059 for 609 reflections. MnIn2Se4 (R 3̄m, hexagonal axes a = 4.051(1), c = 39.464(2) Å, c/a = 9.74, Z = 3) crystallizes with a nearly close-packed layered structure (sequence of the Se layers ABCA|CABC|BCAB) with Moct (= 0.56 Mn + 0.44 In) in octahedral coordination (Moct,–Se = 6 × 2.721(1) A) and Mtet (= 0.78 In + 0.22 Mn) in tetrahedral coordination (Mtet-Se = 1 × 2.527(2) and 3 × 2.593(1) Å). The overall layer sequences is ΑβΒαCyA| Cα AγBβC| BγCβAα B.
