Hierarchically In2S3@In2O3 nanorods heterojunctions for enhanced NO2 sensing at lower operating temperature
Hierarchically structured In 2 S 3 @In 2 O 3 nanorods were synthesized via a two-step hydrothermal method. Compared to single-component In 2 O 3 based sensors, the as-developed In 2 S 3 @In 2 O 3 nanorods based chemiresistive-type sensor exhibited significantly enhanced response and reduced operating temperature. The sensor displayed a response of approximately 51.2 to 3 ppm NO 2 at 120℃, with a response time and recovery time of 76 and 48 seconds, respectively, and a detection limit of NO 2 concentration to 0.014 ppm. By constructing In 2 S 3 @In 2 O 3 heterojunctions, the optimal operating temperature has been effectively lowered from 160℃ to 120℃. The improved sensing performance is attributable to the nano-heterojunctions formed between In 2 S 3 and In 2 O 3 , which increase the specific surface area to provide additional active adsorption sites, and as well, prevent the shielding effect of surface-adsorbed oxygen on NO 2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the introduction of heterojunctions of In 2 S 3 @In 2 O 3 enhances the adsorption energy and charge transfer between NO 2 and the sensing material.
