Sub-ppb-Level Detection of Nitrogen Dioxide Based on High-Quality Black Phosphorus

Dan Han et al.

Summary: In this study, a gas sensor device based on high-quality few-layered black phosphorus (BP) microribbons was fabricated, and it was found that the surface and side of BP microribbons have nanoscale thin films and step-like nanoscale thin films, respectively. The BP microribbon sensor demonstrated a high response to low-concentration NO2 and the lowest LOD reported so far. The sensitization mechanisms of the BP microribbon sensor were found to be abundant nanoscale thin films, an optimum bandgap range with optimal carrier concentration, a hierarchical homojunction structure, and strong adsorption energy to NO2. Additionally, the sensor showed high selectivity, low LOD under high relative humidity, and good repeatability.

Layered MXene heterostructured with In2O3 nanoparticles for ammonia sensors at room temperature

Zhi Liu et al.

Summary: The MXene/In2O3 heterostructure was formed through a facile hybridization process, allowing In2O3 nanoparticles to be evenly distributed on the MXene surface and partially inserted between its layers. The chemiresistive-type gas sensor based on MXene/In2O3 hybrids exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity towards NH3 at room temperature. In addition, the wireless-type response of the MXene/In2O3 based sensors, coupled with a LC antenna fabricated using LTCC technology, showed excellent performance.
