Two dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) has an unique intrinsic influence on gas sensing applications. The effect of S and Mo vacancy creation increases the sensing nature of BBr 3 and SF 4 toxic gases. In this work, we have theoretically investigated the sensing capabilities and the electron transport behavior of armchair S vacancy (AmS-MoS 2 ), armchair Mo vacancy (AmMo-MoS 2 ), zigzag S vacancy (ZigS-MoS 2 ), and zigzag Mo vacancy MoS 2 monolayer with the highly toxic gases include of BBr 3 and SF 4 using first-principles calculations and Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) theory. The optimal configuration indicates that there is a considerable change in the bond length and bond angle of BBr 3 andSF 4 gas molecules after adsorption. Among the devices, SF 4 adsorption on AmMo-MoS 2 and BBr 3 adsorption on ZigMo-MoS 2 shows enhanced adsorption energy of 0.9233 eV and 0.9987 eV, charge transfer of 0.111e and 0.233e respectively. The density of states, transmission spectrum, and I-V characteristic also show comparatively more changes after the adsorption of the gas molecule which reflects in the conductance and transport characteristic of AmMo-MoS 2 for SF 4 adsorption and ZigMo-MoS 2 for BBr 3 adsorption. All the results indicate that AmMo-MoS 2 and ZigMo-MoS 2 device shows beneficial results compared with the other devices. Hence, AmMo-MoS 2 and ZigMo-MoS 2 can be used for SF 4 and BBr 3 gas sensing applications.
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.
