Chemoresistive sensing of light alkanes with SnO2 nanocrystals: a DFT-based insight.
Density functional theory (DFT) modelling of the alkane-SnO2 surface interaction correctly predicts the results of the chemoresistive alkane sensing tests, provided that the highly reduced nature of the SnO2 nanocrystal surface is properly inserted in the model.
