Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Noble metal-functionalized, reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-loaded metal oxides are a new class of ternary composites that combine the advantages of each component, resulting in exceptional materials. But, there are few reports on their use as gas sensors. This paper reports the gas sensing behavior of Au or Pd-functionalized rGO-loaded ZnO nanofibers (NFs) synthesized by using a combination of facile, cost-effective sol-gel and electrospinning methods. An examination of the gas sensing properties revealed that Au-functionalized NFs have a very high response to CO gas. In particular, the gas response (R a /R g ) to 1 ppm of CO was as high as 23.5, whereas Pd-functionalized NFs showed a high response to C 6 H 6 gas (11.8 to 1 ppm C 6 H 6 ). The presence of rGO/ZnO heterointerfaces, the catalytic effect of Au and Pd nanoparticles (NPs), and the high surface area of NFs were the main factors that contributed to the strong response of the Au or Pd-functionalized rGO-loaded ZnO NFs sensors. These results show that the combination of noble metals, such as Au or Pd NPs, with rGO and ZnO can impart new gas sensing functionality that is potentially useful for CO or C 6 H 6 sensing applications, respectively.
