Metal oxide resistive-type nano-scale gas sensors have been investigated for their low cost, high sensitivity, and environmentally friendly fabrication. In these sensors, electrical resistance measurements are used to detect the presence of gas. In n-type metal oxides, resistance is increased by coverage of adsorbed oxygen and lowered by removal of adsorbed oxygen through reactions with reducing gasses. The sensitivity and selectivity of these sensors have been improved by incorporation of heterostructures. Heterostructures may improve sensor performance through facilitating catalytic activity, increasing adsorption, and creating a charge carrier depletion layer that produces a larger modulation in resistance. Synergistic effects in these gas sensors describe the improved sensor signal due to these combined effects which act to amplify the reception and transduction of the sensor signal. Receptive mechanisms may be improved by increasing adsorption and reactivity. Transduction mechanisms may be improved by restriction of the major charge conduction channels which helps to maximize resistance modulation. In this review, the synergistic effect achieved by combining these two mechanisms are examined. Fundamental properties of the metal oxide surface are used to provide insight for the large body of experimental evidence available for metal oxide resistive-type gas sensors. This review aims to connect experimental evidence to conceptual mechanistic descriptions by examining adsorption processes, charge transfer, reaction mechanisms, morphology, and ambient gas interactions.
