Single-atom Ce targeted regulation SnS/SnS2 heterojunction for sensitive and stable room-temperature ppb-level gas sensor

Long Li et al.

Summary: A single-atom Ce-targeted regulation strategy was proposed for p-SnS/n-SnS2, which can regulate the amount and size of SnS quantum dots on the surface of SnS2 by doping different amounts of Ce. Sn-S-Ce bonds were formed by combining single-atom Ce with SnS, effectively inhibiting the growth and oxidation of SnS quantum dots. Ce-doped SnS quantum dots served as electronic sensitizers, effectively increasing the carrier concentration in SnS2 due to the unique energy band structure of p-SnS and n-SnS2. The gas sensor based on 1% Ce-doped SnS/SnS2 composites exhibited high sensitivity (with a response of 22.1 to 1 ppm NO2), ultralow detection limit (1 ppb), excellent long-term stability at room temperature, and a lower baseline resistance.
