The connection between heterogeneous catalysis and chemoresistive sensors is emerging more and more clearly, as concerns the well-known case of supported noble metals nanoparticles. On the other hand, it appears that a clear connection has not been set up yet for metal oxide catalysts. In particular, the catalytic properties of several different oxides hold the promise for specifically designed gas sensors in terms of selectivity towards given classes of analytes. In this review, several well-known metal oxide catalysts will be considered by first exposing solidly established catalytic properties that emerge from related literature perusal. On this basis, existing gas-sensing applications will be discussed and related, when possible, with the obtained catalysis results. Then, further potential sensing applications will be proposed based on the affinity of the catalytic pathways and possible sensing pathways. It will appear that dialogue with heterogeneous catalysis may help workers in chemoresistive sensors to design new systems and to gain remarkable insight into the existing sensing properties, in particular by applying the approaches and techniques typical of catalysis. However, several divergence points will appear between metal oxide catalysis and gas-sensing. Nevertheless, it will be pointed out how such divergences just push to a closer exchange between the two fields by using the catalysis knowledge as a toolbox for investigating the sensing mechanisms.

The possibility of obtaining cyclopentanone by pyrolysis of calcium adipate at different temperatures was considered. The pyrolysis proceeded with the formation of cyclopentanone and cyclopentene. The use of metal salts and metal oxide catalysts for the dehydrogenation of lower alkanes makes it possible to increase the yields of the target products. The best results were achieved in the presence of a «K-16u» catalyst.

Lignocellulosics are abundant and readily available as the raw material for the production of biogas. However, the structure of this raw material needs to be modified to increase its digestibility during anaerobic fermentation. Various pretreatment methods that have been proposed in the past have been examined; however, the focus of the present study was to pretreat a wheat straw (WS) substrate using an advanced oxidation process (AOP) with a metal oxide photocatalyst combined with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Four different metal oxides were examined at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4% dosages (w/w) coupled with UV irradiation for 0, 60, 120, and 180 min. Experimental results revealed that among all metal oxide catalysts examined, only the 4% CuO combined with 180 min UV irradiation caused the most lignin to be released from the WS. This resulted in the highest vanillic acid (VA) being produced (4.32 ± 0.15 mg VA/g VS). This WS pretreatment also resulted in a biomethane potential (BMP) assay of 384 ± 16 NmL CH4/g VS. The BMP assay results revealed a maximum 28% increase in biodegradability and a 57% increase in methane production. The use of either metal oxide catalysts or UV irradiation alone resulted in ineffective WS pretreatment.
