The resistivity responses of layered compound TiS2 to oxygen and nitrogen gases were measured around room temperature. The resistivity showed a selective and reversible response to oxygen. This may be due to the fact that oxygen intercalates into van der Waals gaps in the layered structure of TiS2. The resistivity showed an increment of 1% oxygen partial pressure in 10 min at 50°C. From the comparison with a commercial oxygen gas sensor, it was shown to operate at a lower temperature with the response time as short as the commercial one.
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.
