Popis: An ab initio study of the adsorption processes on NO x compounds on (1 1 0) SnO 2 surface is presented with the aim of providing theoretical hints for the development of improved NO x gas sensors. From first principles calculations (DFT–GGA approximation), the most relevant NO and NO 2 adsorption processes are analyzed by means of the estimation of their adsorption energies. The resulting values and the developed model are also corroborated with experimental desorption temperatures for NO and NO 2 , allowing us to explain the temperature-programmed desorption experiments. The interference of the SO 2 poisoning agent on the studied processes is discussed and the adsorption site blocking consequences on sensing response are analyzed.
