Endowed with rich terminal groups, good electrical conductivity, and controllable structure, transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) have attracted extensive attention for potential application in gas sensor, but long-standing challenges of the MXenes (titanium carbide as the representative) are their limited selectivity and sensitivity. Herein, a high-active double transition-metal titanium molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 TiC 2 T x ) with superstrong surface adsorption (−3.12 eV) for NO 2 gas molecule is proposed, and it is further coupled with molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) by interface modulation to construct an edgeenriched heterostructure. Due to the synergistic effect of strong adsorption, rich adsorption sites, and coupling interface of Mo 2 TiC 2 T x /MoS 2 composite, the as-fabricated Mo 2 TiC 2 T x /MoS 2 gas sensor exhibits an outstanding response toward NO 2 with high selectivity against various interference gases, which is well supported by density functional theory calculations. Meanwhile, the sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 7.36% ppm −1 , detection limit of 2.5 ppb, and reversibility at room temperature. A portable, wireless NO 2 monitoring system is demonstrated for gas leakage searching and dangerous warning based on Mo 2 TiC 2 T x /MoS 2 gas sensor. This work facilitates the gas sensing application of MXenes, and provides an avenue for the development of wireless sensing system in environmental monitoring and safety assurance.
The reactions of [CuTbL(Schiff)(H(2)O)(3)Cl(2)]Cl complexes with A- or B-type Anderson polyoxoanions lead to new polyoxometalate-supported 3d-4f heterometallic systems with single-molecule-magnet behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
