Abstract
Realizing large-area bonding of heterojunction interfaces is of great significance for enhancing the synergistic effect and gas sensing performance of the Van der Waals hybrid structures. Here, after the activation treatment of the basal planes of the construction materials, an N-doped graphene (NG)/MoS2-xSex nanocomposite with MoS2-xSex nanocomposites coating NG scaffolds have been successively synthesized by a simple two-step growth process for ultrasensitive NO2 detection. TEM characterization result indicates that the two materials form a large-area heterojunction interface bonding. HRTEM, XRD, XPS and Raman spectra confirm the formation of the tightly integrated NG/MoS2-xSex heterostructures. Thanks to the large interface area, the response of the optimal NG/MoS2-xSex sensor to 50 ppm NO2 is as high as 24.3 at 25ºC, which is about 3.1 and 16.5 times that of the MoS2-xSex and NG sensors, respectively. In addition, the sensor also exhibits high selectivity, long-term stability, and ppb-level detection limit. The possible gas sensing enhancement mechanism of composite materials has been extensively discussed.
