Abstract
Metal oxide-based chemiresistive gas sensors are expected to play a significant role in assessing human health and evaluating food spoilage. However, the high operating temperature, insufficient limit of detection (LOD), and long response/recovery time restrict their broad application. Herein, 3D Bi2MoO6/2D Eg-C3N4 heterocomposites are developed for advanced NH3 gas sensors with RT operational mode. Utilizing the synergetic engineering of micro-nanostructure, surface oxygen vacancies, and well-defined Type II n–n heterojunctions, BMOCN3 demonstrated superior NH3 sensing properties at 23 °C, including the high response (S = 13.6 at 10 ppm), fast response/recovery speed (8/30 s), excellent selectivity, and low LOD (166 ppb). Based on the experimental, DFT, and MD studies, the improved sensing performance can be ascribed to accelerated charge transfer, superior redox capacity, and improved adsorption/desorption kinetics. Moreover, the practical application in rapid exhaled NH3 biomarker detection of the as-fabricated gas sensor was preliminarily verified. This work highlights that the novel synergetic engineering can effectively modulate the electronic structure and charge transfer, offering a rational solution for room temperature chemiresistive gas sensors.
期刊介绍:
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the dissemination of new and original knowledge in the field of sensor science, particularly those that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to biosensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, intracellular sensors, single molecule sensors, cell chips, and microfluidic devices. It aims to publish articles that address conceptual advances in sensing technology applicable to various types of analytes or application papers that report on the use of existing sensing concepts in new ways or for new analytes.
