Abstract
BiOBr quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by aqueous phase method for room temperature ammonia detection. It was found that the BiOBr QDs exhibited a 65 % response to 100 ppm NH3 with a low detection limit of 1.54 ppm. DFT calculations further demonstrated the excellent selectivity and reproducibility of the BiOBr QDs. The ultra-small size, high specific surface area, and abundant unsaturated edge sites of the BiOBr QDs facilitated the oxygen adsorption and charge transfer, enabling efficient room-temperature chemo- resistive sensing. These findings emphasize the importance of BiOBr QDs as high-performance materials for ammonia detection under ambient conditions.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
