Abstract
The development of a MoS2/CuO composite for acetone gas sensing at room temperature represents a significant advancement in the field of chemical sensors. This study presents the fabrication and characterization of a highly sensitive and selective acetone gas sensor based on a MoS2/CuO heterojunction. The resulting composite exhibited a well-defined heterojunction, which is crucial for enhancing gas adsorption and sensor response. The MoS2/CuO sensor demonstrated excellent performance in detecting acetone at room temperature, with an excellent response (7.01), short response and recovery times (85/177 s), and good selectivity than other testing gases. The gas sensing mechanism was attributed to the modulation of the depletion region at the MoS2/CuO interface upon acetone adsorption, which led to a significant change in the sensor electrical resistance. The results indicate that the MoS2/CuO composite is a viable material for the development of low-cost, efficient acetone sensor operating at room temperature.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
