Thus, exploring new materials with excellent physiochemical and electrochemical properties is desirable for the construction of efficient 4NT sensors. The present study reports the fabrication of manganese dioxide/sulfur-doped reduced graphene oxide (α-MnO2/S@rGO) via hydrothermal synthesis procedure. The well-characterized α-MnO2/S@rGO was employed as a catalyst for the construction of α-MnO2/S@rGO modified screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for the detection of 4NT using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The α-MnO2/S@rGO modified electrode exhibits good electro-catalytic properties for the detection of 4NT compared to the bare SPCE, α-MnO2-, or S@rGO-modified electrodes. A reasonable detection limit of 0.5 µM with sensitivity of 1.97 µA.µM-1.cm-2 was obtained using α-MnO2/S@rGO modified electrode. The α-MnO2/S@rGO modified electrode demonstrated considerable selectivity for the sensing of 4NT in presence of various electro-active species. Note that the combination of catalytic α-MnO2 and conductive S@rGO present excellent synergistic interactions which improved the performance of the α-MnO2/S@rGO-modified electrode.","PeriodicalId":504734,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141338066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, the multi-heterojunction based on two-dimensional materials with high carrier separation efficiency is expected to be designed as a high-performance photodetector (PD). This work focuses on the fabrication of g-C3N4/SnSe2/H-TiO2 ternary heterojunctions for photodetectors, obtained by depositing SnSe2 and g-C3N4 nanosheets onto TiO2 nanotube arrays using chemical vapor deposition and impregnation methods, respectively. The formation of the g-C3N4/SnSe2/H-TiO2 ternary heterojunction enhances and broadens absorption in the ultraviolet-visible range. Photoelectrochemical measurements have confirmed that the fabricated g-C3N4/SnSe2/H-TiO2 ternary heterojunction photodetector exhibits remarkable light detection capabilities at 370, 450, and 520 nm, meaning broadband photodetection behavior. Notably, under light illumination of 370 nm wavelength, it demonstrates a high responsivity of 2.742 A/W, an impressive detectivity of 5.84×10¹⁰ Jones, an external quantum efficiency of 9.21×10² %, and excellent stability. This high performance can be attributed to the effective separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers within the ternary heterojunction, significantly enhancing the photoresponse.

We found that the reverse Al composition gradient double waveguide layer could decrease injection potential barrier for electrons and holes, as well as has a high block leakage potential barrier, which can be help to increase carrier transport and optical confined factor. Meanwhile, it can improve sheet carrier concentration in order to decrease non-radiative recombination.
