Abstract

The composites of CeO₂ nanoparticles and MoS₂ nanosheets are prepared by hydrothermal method. It is found that the CeO₂/MoS₂ composites exhibit the better NO₂-sensing response at room temperature (RT), with the sensitivity towards 5 ppm NO₂ higher than that of pure MoS₂ by 69.1%, and 85% of the resistance can be returned within 900 s. The sensor also possesses the characteristics of a fast response, a reliable long-term stability and an excellent selectivity. Based on the first-principle calculations, the adsorption energy of CeO₂/MoS₂ composites to NO₂ is much higher than that of MoS₂, enhancing the adsorption ability of NO₂. Moreover, the CeO₂/MoS₂ composites could suppress the aggregation of nanosheets and nanoparticles, and thus provide plenty of active sites for adsorption of NO₂ molecules. As a result, the room-temperature NO₂-sensing response is enhanced substantially.
