Abstract
The formation of heterostructure offers significant potential to improve sensor performance due to its unique interfacial properties. In this work, we report the fabrication of highly efficient heterostructure based gas sensor for room temperature detection (30 °C) of . The sensor exhibits an outstanding sensing response of 671% towards 40 ppm of , which is 4.5 times higher than that of . Moreover, it shows fast response and recovery time of 26 s and 51.5 s, respectively. It shows a distinct selectivity towards with excellent reproducibility and a low detection limit of 171 ppb, maintaining 93.8% of stability over 30 days. The enhanced sensing performance is attributed to the accelerated charge transfer rate and carrier mobility resulting from the formation of heterostructure, which reduces the charge transport time and accelerates desorption, resulting in rapid recovery. Thus, this approach presents a promising strategy to achieve superior sensing characteristics and advancements in gas sensor technologies.
