The loading of NiO provides a new strategy to achieve humidity‐independent SnO 2 gas sensors. When NiO is loaded to hierarchical SnO 2 nanostructures, the humidity dependence of the gas sensing characteris‐tics, such as gas sensitivity, response speed, recovery speed, and resistance in air, are decreased to a negli‐gible level. On page 4456 , Nicolae Barsan, Jong‐Heun Lee, and co‐workers confirmed that NiO plays the key role of a strong humidity absorber and protects the SnO 2 from the influence of water‐derived species.
