ZnO–Au@ZIF-8 core–shell nanorod arrays for ppb-level NO2 detection

, and exhibited higher selectivity, stability, anti-humidity and fast response and recovery properties. The combination of the gas-selective catalytic activity of noble metals with the MOF filter used in this work can be easily extended to synthesize other types of MOS@MOF sensors, opening a new avenue for the detection of hazardous gases.
