NO 2 is a dangerous gaseous pollutant, which is also a precursor to the formation of photochemical smog and ozone. It has negative impacts on the environment and human beings at local, regional and even the whole global scale. In this context, it is imperative to develop the efficient sensing materials for detecting NO 2 gas. In this study, a near room temperature NO 2 sensing material (In 2 O 3 /SnO 2 heterostructure) with “4S” index (selectivity, sensitivity, speed, stability) was constructed, it overcomes the drawbacks of traditional detection techniques and solves the unavoidable problems of metal oxide semiconductors in the sensing process (high temperature, cross response, weak response at low concentration, etc.). Meanwhile, the synergy between the surface structure and heterostructure interface of In 2 O 3 /SnO 2 has been thoroughly analyzed. More importantly, this study also sampled and monitored ambient air samples from different geographical locations and different time points in cities, which provides strong support for promoting the application of MOS sensors in real environment.

Chlorine (Cl 2 ), a toxic and hazardous gas with a pungent odor, has already posed threat to air quality and human health. Therefore, developing chlorine sensors with high response and low power consumption is crucial. In this work, raspberry-like SnO 2 decorated uniformly with SnS nanoparticles was synthesized via a facile solvothermal method followed by an in-situ sulfurization process, which can be used for highly selective and sensitive detection of Cl 2 at 50 °C. The SnS/SnO 2 sensor exhibits ultrahigh response (R g /R a = 1136) toward 10 ppm Cl 2 at optimal working temperature of 50 °C, achieving low detection limit down to 0.05 pp m (S = 1.52), which is 2.5 times higher than that of pure SnO 2 sensor. Its superior sensing performance can be attributed to the formation of the p-n heterostructure, which accelerates electron transfer within the material. More importantly, the as-prepared SnS/SnO 2 sensor still exhibits effective and stable detection performance toward residual chlorine in daily life, significantly extending its practical applicability and providing valuable reference for developing high-performance near room-temperature gas sensors.

We have successfully prepared a metal–organic-framework (MOF) derived In2O3 flower-like hierarchical architecture sensor using a near room-temperature template-free strategy and a subsequent accurate annealing process. The In2O3 flower-like hierarchical architecture sensor exhibits good sensitivity to trimethylamine. The fabricated sensor has a relatively low working temperature of 140 °C, a response of 35.2 for 20 ppm trimethylamine, a response time as fast as 2 s, and good selectivity and stability. In addition, the sensor exhibits good conductivity. The sensor's enhanced gas sensing performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of its unique flower-like hierarchical architecture, porous hierarchical morphology and abundant oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, the possible growth mechanism and the gas sensing mechanism are also discussed in detail.

The fabrication of gas-sensing devices with high sensitivity and low limit of detection (LOD) for monitoring chemical warfare agents and their simulants is of great importance. Metal oxide-based semiconducting nanomaterials and their heterojunctions hold great promise in chemiresistive gas sensing. However, the demands of high working temperature, integration on interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) and requirement of additional heaters impede their popularity. This work demonstrates in situ laser-assisted preparation of Au-decorated laser-induced graphene (LIG/Au) hetero-material as a flexible and effective near-room-temperature 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES) sensor. The structure of the sensor was simplified via omitting the IDE and an additional heating module. After optimizing the concentration of the HAuCl4 precursor solution and power of secondary scribing, the LIG/Au-0.1 M gas sensor exhibited an enhanced response of 7.85‰ to 1.0 ppm 2-CEES, which is twice that of pure LIG. Furthermore, its LOD was as low as 5.8 ppb. The sensing mechanism analysis revealed that the decoration of Au nanoparticles enriched the active sites of LIG/Au-0.1 M and provided catalytic and sensitization effects. The present study not only provides an appealing 2-CEES gas sensor but also demonstrates an effective method for large-scale fabrication of other high-performance sensing devices.
