Abstract
The toxic gases emitted from industrial production have caused significant damage to the environment and human health, necessitating efficient gas sensors for their detection and removal. In this work, first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the potential application of diamanes for high-performance toxic gas sensors. The results show that nine gas molecules (CO, CO2, NO, NO2, NH3, SO2, N2, O2, and H2O) are physisorbed on pristine diamane by weak van der Waals interactions. After introducing H/F defects, diamane can effectively capture specific toxic gases (CO, NO, NO2, and SO2) in the presence of interfering gases (N2, O2, and H2O), suggesting excellent selectivity and anti-interference ability. Orbital hybridization and significant charge redistribution between gas molecules and defective diamane dominate the enhanced adsorbate–substrate interactions. More importantly, the high sensitivity and good reversibility of defective diamane for detecting CO, NO, and SO2 molecules enable its reuse as a superior resistance-type gas sensor. Our calculations provide valuable insights into the potential of defective diamane for detecting toxic gases and shed light on the practical application of novel carbon-based materials in the gas-sensing field.
