Abstract
We demonstrate a WO3-MoS2 mixture-based gas sensor showing the response to NO2 and complete recovery in air at room temperature for the first time. When n-type WO3 and p-type MoS2 meet, a p-n junction with an electron depletion zone is formed at the interface due to the electron transfer induced by the difference in work function. This electron depletion zone prevents MoS2 from bonding directly with oxygen, thus preventing electrical instability in air that conventional MoS2-based sensors inevitably have and allowing them to respond and fully recover in air at room temperature. Here, unlike other MoS2-based sensors, the fabricated WO3-MoS2 mixture-based sensors showed complete recovery after exposure to NO2 in air at room temperature, which means that the fabricated sensor can be operated at low power without the heaters.
