基于选择性增强的Nb2CT/SnS2纳米复合传感器及室温氨气监测

摘要: 氨(NH3)的检测对于环境监测、工业安全和医疗诊断至关重要。然而,环境条件的波动以及传统传感材料的稳定性有限,使得在室温下实现高选择性、高灵敏度和可靠的氨检测变得困难。为了提高氨的选择性,我们研究了一种同时含有胺基和羧基的双功能化Nb2CTx/SnS2复合材料。将 SnS2出色的氨吸附能力与 Nb2CTx MXene 优异的电导率和表面反应性相结合,制备出了一种可用作高灵敏度和高选择性化学电阻传感器的复合材料。实验结果表明,该传感器在室温下对氨的检测阈值10 ppm,当氨浓度为100 ppm 时,其具备 32 秒的快速响应时间和 78 秒的恢复时间。此外,在暴露于具有干扰气体、高湿度和温度波动等恶劣环境条件下,胺基和羧基的引入显著增强了传感器的结构完整性和选择性。在实际应用中,这种传感器对氨气具有极高的选择性,能够有效排除甲醛、丙酮、乙醇、三甲胺和二氧化碳等常见干扰气体。总体而言,这些结果表明这种材料可用于开发一种高性能的氨气传感器,在各种环境条件下都具有良好的传感特性

 

Room-temperature ammonia sensing via Nb2CT/SnS2 nanocomposite sensor with enhanced selectivity

Abstract: The detection of ammonia (NH3) is essential for environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and medical diagnosis. However, fluctuating environmental conditions and the limited stability of conventional sensing materials make it difficult to achieve highly selective, highly sensitive, and reliable NH3 sensing at room temperature. To improve NH3 selectivity, we investigated a dual-functionalized Nb2CTx/SnS2 composite containing both amine and carboxyl groups. Combining the superior NH3 adsorption capability of SnS2 with the outstanding electrical conductivity and surface reactivity of the Nb2CTx MXene produces a composite that can be used as a highly sensitive and selective chemiresistive sensor. Experimental results revealed that this sensor had a low detection threshold of 10 ppm, along with fast response (32 s) and recovery (78 s) times at 100 ppm of NH3 under ambient conditions. Moreover, under harsh environmental conditions such as exposure to interfering gases, high humidity, and temperature fluctuations, the incorporation of the amine and carboxyl groups significantly enhanced the structural integrity and selectivity of the sensor. In real-world applications, this sensor could exhibit exceptional selectivity for NH3 against common interfering gases like formaldehyde, acetone, ethanol, trimethylamine, and CO2. Overall, these results highlight that this material could be used to develop a high-performance NH3 sensor with promising sensing characteristics under a wide range of environmental conditions.
