Abstract :
Researchers in Korea have developed a silver-loaded zinc oxide nanostructure that can significantly more reduce the operating temperature of acetylene gas sensors. This could mean cheaper, more efficient and more reliable sensors to ensure safety in the handling of this commonly used and highly unstable industrial gas.
