dc.description.abstract | Doping plays a significant role in affecting the physical and chemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) dichalcogenide materials. Controllable doping is one of the major factors in the modification of the electronic and mechanical properties of 2D materials. MoS2 2D materials have gained significant attention in gas sensing owing to their high surface-to-volume ratio. However, low response and recovery time hinder their application in practical gas sensors. Herein, we report the enhanced gas response and recovery of Nb-doped MoS2 gas sensor synthesized through physical vapor deposition (PVD) toward NO2 at different temperatures. The electronic states of MoS2 and Nb-doped MOS2 monolayers grown by PVD were analyzed based on their work functions. Doping with Nb increases the work function of MoS2 and its electronic properties. The Nb-doped MoS2 showed an ultrafast response and recovery time of t rec = 30/85 s toward 5 ppm of NO2 at their optimal operating temperature (100 °C). The experimental results complement the electron difference density functional theory calculation, showing both physisorption and chemisorption of NO2 gas molecules on niobium substitution doping in MoS2. | en_GB |
