Fundamental relations between material composition and sensing behavior have not been unambiguously established. In the present review, we summarize our recent works on the research of active sites and gas sensing behavior of n-type semiconductor metal oxides with different composition (simple oxides ZnO, In2O3, SnO2, WO3; mixed-metal oxides BaSnO3, Bi2WO6), and functionalized by catalytic noble metals (Ru, Pd, Au). The materials were variously characterized. The composition, metal-oxygen bonding, microstructure, active sites, sensing behavior, and interaction routes with gases (CO, NH3, SO2, VOC, NO2) were examined. The key role of active sites in determining the selectivity of sensor materials is substantiated. It was shown that the metal-oxygen bond energy of the MOS correlates with the surface acidity and the concentration of surface oxygen species and oxygen vacancies, which control the adsorption and redox conversion of analyte gas molecules. The effects of cations in mixed-metal oxides on the sensitivity and selectivity of BaSnO3 and Bi2WO6 to SO2 and VOCs, respectively, are rationalized. The determining role of catalytic noble metals in oxidation of reducing analyte gases and the impact of acid sites of MOS to gas adsorption are demonstrated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21072554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]],"date-time":"2021-04-06T06:05:43Z","timestamp":1617689143000},"page":"2554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":150,"title":["The Key Role of Active Sites in the Development of Selective Metal Oxide Sensor Materials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2894-501X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artem","family":"Marikutsa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Department, Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3354-0885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Rumyantseva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Department, Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4542-6999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizaveta A.","family":"Konstantinova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Department, Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Faculty of Nano-, Bio-, Information and Cognitive Technologies, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, 141700 Dolgoprudny, Russia"},{"name":"National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, 123182 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Gaskov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Department, Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.snb.2004.12.075","article-title":"Toward innovations of gas sensor technology","volume":"108","author":"Yamazoe","year":"2005","journal-title":"Sens.
