The somewhat slow recovery kinetics of NO2 sensing at low temperatures are still challenging to overcome. To enhance the gas sensing property, fluorine is doped to MoS2 nanoflowers by facile hydrothermal method. Extensive characterization data demonstrate that F was effectively incorporated into the MoS2 nanoflowers, and that the microstructure of the MoS2 nanoflowers did not change upon F doping. The two MoS2 doped with varying concentrations of fluorine were tested for their sensing property to NO2 gas. Both of them show good repeatability and stability. A smaller recovery time was seen in the F-MoS2-1 sample with a little amount of F loading, which was three times quicker than that of pure MoS2. The key reason for the quicker recovery time of this material was found to be the fluorine ions that had been adsorbed on the surface of F-MoS2-1 would take up some of the NO2 adsorption site. Additionally, the sample F-MoS2-2 with a higher F doping level demonstrated increased sensitivity. The F-MoS2-2 sensor's high sensitivity was mostly due to the lattice fluorine filled to the sulfur vacancy, which generated impurity levels and reduced the energy required for its electronic transition. This study might contribute to the development of new molybdenum sulfide based gas sensor.

To improve the gas sensitivity of reduced oxide graphene (rGO)-based NO2 room-temperature sensors, different contents (0–3 wt%) of rGO, ZnO rods, and noble metal nanoparticles (Au or Ag NPs) were synthesized to construct ternary hybrids that combine the advantages of each component. The prepared ZnO rods had a diameter of around 200 nm and a length of about 2 μm. Au or Ag NPs with diameters of 20–30 nm were loaded on the ZnO-rod/rGO hybrid. It was found that rGO simply connects the monodispersed ZnO rods and does not change the morphology of ZnO rods. In addition, the rod-like ZnO prevents rGO stacking and makes nanocomposite-based ZnO/rGO achieve a porous structure, which facilitates the diffusion of gas molecules. The sensors’ gas-sensing properties for NO2 were evaluated. The results reveal that Ag@ZnO rods-2% rGO and Au@ZnO rods-2% rGO perform better in low concentrations of NO2 gas, with greater response and shorter recovery time at the ambient temperature. The response and recovery times with 15 ppm NO2 were 132 s, 139 s and 108 s, 120 s, and the sensitivity values were 2.26 and 2.87, respectively. The synergistic impact of ZnO and Au (Ag) doping was proposed to explain the improved gas sensing. The p-n junction formed on the ZnO and rGO interface and the catalytic effects of Au (Ag) NPs are the main reasons for the enhanced sensitivity of Au (Ag)@ZnO rods-2% rGO.

Nanoscale heterostructured zinc oxide/reduced graphene oxide (ZnO/rGO) materials with p–n heterojunctions exhibit excellent low temperature NO2 gas sensing performance, but their doping ratio modulated sensing properties remain poorly understood. Herein, ZnO nanoparticles were loaded with 0.1~4% rGO by a facile hydrothermal method and evaluated as NO2 gas chemiresistor. We have the following key findings. First, ZnO/rGO manifests doping ratio-dependent sensing type switching. Increasing the rGO concentration changes the type of ZnO/rGO conductivity from n-type (<0.6% rGO) to mixed n/p -type (0.6~1.4% rGO) and finally to p-type (>1.4% rGO). Second, interestingly, different sensing regions exhibit different sensing characteristics. In the n-type NO2 gas sensing region, all the sensors exhibit the maximum gas response at the optimum working temperature. Among them, the sensor that shows the maximum gas response exhibits a minimum optimum working temperature. In the mixed n/p-type region, the material displays abnormal reversal from n- to p-type sensing transitions as a function of the doping ratio, NO2 concentration and working temperature. In the p-type gas sensing region, the response decreases with increasing rGO ratio and working temperature. Third, we derive a conduction path model that shows how the sensing type switches in ZnO/rGO. We also find that p–n heterojunction ratio (np–n/nrGO) plays a key role in the optimal response condition. The model is supported by UV-vis experimental data. The approach presented in this work can be extended to other p–n heterostructures and the insights will benefit the design of more efficient chemiresistive gas sensors.

Here, we demonstrate room temperature NO2 sensors based on ZnO/rGO nanocomposites by a facile hydrothermal method. The ZnO nanoparticles (20 ~ 50 nm) were wrapped by film-like rGO with different contents (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 wt %). They all exhibit p-type sensing toward NO2 at room temperature. The content of rGO shows an obvious effect on the sensing properties. The ZnO NPs-1% rGO has a high response of 5.21 to 10 ppm NO2 with a response/recovery time of 198/144 s. The sensing mechanism is discussed. The gas-sensitive properties are derived from the strong synergistic effect between the smaller particles of ZnO and rGO.

... As the incorporation of RGO into ZnO, the crystallite size decreased, which is depicted in Table 1. The decrease in crystallite size of the ZnO nanoparticles resulting from the incorporation of RGO, indicates the surface hybridisation of RGO on ZnO (Li et al. 2023). Figure 2 illustrates Fourier transform spectra of ZnO nanoparticles synthesised by solution combustion technique in the 4000-400 cm −1 range. ...

... And it is also a major contributor to acid rain and the depletion of the ozone layer [9,10]. Traditional NO 2 sensors have limitations, such as high temperature requirements and slow recovery, scientists are searching for alternative materials [11][12][13][14]. The development of NO 2 gas sensors by using MoS 2 as a sensitive material has shown promising results. ...

... The dynamic response-recovery curves (Figure 8a,b) demonstrate that the ZnO rod sensor had an n-type response with increasing resistance to NO 2 , but the rGO and ZnO rods-rGO sensors had a p-type response to NO 2 . Previously, we observed that the doping ratio depended on the sensing type of ZnO rods-rGO hybrid materials [34][35][36]. Under low rGO doping (<1%), temperature-and NO 2 concentration-modulated n-to p-type sensing transitions were observed. ...
