Two-dimensional mesoporous sensing materials

Two-dimensional mesoporous materials combing ultrathin nanosheet morphology with well-defined mesoporous structures, are now emerging and becoming increasingly important for their promising applications in energy storage, electronic devices, electrocatalysts and so on. Here, we synthesized a kind of polypyrrole-based two-dimensional mesoporous materials with uniform pore size, ultrathin thickness and high surface area. Serving for electrochemical NH3 sensor, they exhibited a fast response and high sensitivity. Therefore, our study would promote much interest in design of new materials for gas sensor applications.
