Abstract
NH3 is a fairly important raw material in a number of fields but harmful to the human. Currently, hydrogen substituted graphyne (HsGY) shows fast response to NH3 gas based on our previous report. However, it still suffers from low response values and humidity interference. CeO2 has the advantage of moisture resistance as NH3 gas sensor but prone to agglomeration, whereas the alkyne bond of HsGY can anchor CeO2 to form a discretely distributed CeO2. Therefore, highly dispersed CeO2 nanocubics anchoring on HsGY sheets are synthesized through hydrothermal method. The gas sensing characteristics show that the gas sensing response value to 80 ppm NH3 is increased by 3 times compared to pure HsGY. Furthermore, they present relatively stable NH3 gas response under relative humidity variation (20–80 %). In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) is used to reveal the gas sensing mechanism. Energy bands are analyzed using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS), revealing the improvement mechanism of NH3 gas-sensitive performance. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to explain selectivity mechanism to NH3 against other interference gases. Our research provides novel gas sensing materials for the development of high-performance, moisture-resistant room temperature NH3 sensors.
