Abstract
This work aims to investigate the detection performance of WS2 and its doped gas sensitive materials for carbon monoxide (CO), one of the most important characteristic gases of partial discharge in air switchgear.Its accurate monitoring can be an effective evaluation of the operating condition of air switchgear. Three gas-sensitive materials were synthesized using the hydrothermal method: WS2, Pt-WS2, and Au-WS2. The materials were characterized through XRD, SEM, and XPS, followed by an evaluation of their sensing performance for CO gas. The findings revealed that the gas sensitivity of WS2 was significantly enhanced through doping with Pt and Au. At a CO concentration of 10 ppm, the response sensitivity of the Pt-WS2 sensor reached 4.03, while that of the Au-WS2 sensor was measured at 2.68—both representing an increase by a factor of 3.52 compared to intrinsic WS2 sensors. Moreover, the response recovery time for the Au-WS2 sensor was found to be 20–30 s faster than that observed in Pt-WS2 sensors. The mechanisms underlying the enhancement in CO adsorption on WS2 due to Pt and Au doping were investigated based on density functional theory calculations encompassing band structure analysis, density of states assessment, adsorption distance measurement, and adsorption energy evaluation. This study posits that both Pt-WS2 and Au-WS2 can be used for the detection of partial discharge gas CO in air switchgear.
