van der Waals heterojunction-based NO2 chemosensor via a synergistic halogen bond site
Carbon nanotube-based electrochemical sensors have attracted increasing attention due to their excellent sensing performance. However, the presence of numerous structurally similar interferent species severely limits detection accuracy and related applications, especially for trace atmospheric pollutant detection, which requires more specific host–guest recognition sites with enhanced sensing capability and sensitivity. In this work, synergistic halogen bonding interactions were employed to construct specific supramolecular recognition sites at a van der Waals (vdW) heterointerface. With these synergistic sites, the chemosensor exhibited exceptional specificity toward NO2 over interfering gases (SO2 and CO2) with highly similar structures. Meanwhile, the rapid response time reached 38.4 s, and the detection limit was as low as 1.8 ppb, maintaining an 8.4 % signal decrease at 100 ppb NO2. This work presents a promising strategy for developing electrochemical sensors with enhanced selectivity and sensitivity, paving the way for applications in environmental and industrial monitoring.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
