Abstract :

[en] High working temperature and the insufficient limits of detection limit the broad applications of semiconductor chemiresistive gas sensors. Herein, pure Bi2MoO6 nanosheets and a series of one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) multi-walled CNTs/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposites were developed via a facile hydrothermal route for room-temperature ammonia monitoring. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by various analytical techniques. 0.5 wt% MWCNTs/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposites showed the best sensing properties to 10–50 ppm NH3, including low limit of detection (157 ppb), high response (Ra/Rg = 44.2 @ 50 ppm), good selectivity, reproductivity, and anti-humidity sensing ability. The enhanced gas sensing mechanism was proposed based on the synergetic effect of high-energy crystal facets, modified surface characteristics and p-n heterojunction. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were also carried out to further clarify the gas sensing mechanisms. This work provides a practical approach to design and fabricate high-precision gas sensors working at room temperature.
