“…The theoretical bandgap values calculated by Cu 2 WS 4 and CdS are 1.573 eV and 1.182 eV, which are the same as the previously reported studies (Fig. 9(b) and (e)) 45,46. Cu 2 WS 4 is one of the indirect bandgap semiconductors, with the CB and the VB located at the G and M points, respectively.…”

“…For instance, theoretical simulations found that the CdS/WS 2 composite with a tunable composition ratio has almost no bandgap compared to pure CdS and WS 2 , owing to the hybridization phenomenon of Cd 5s, W 5d, and S 2p orbitals. [ 152 ] Such a situation provides superior electrical conductivity for electron transfer from CdS to WS 2 , thereby contributing to the rapid decomposition of organic pollutants.…”

“…Figure a shows the optical absorption spectra of WS 2 , CdS, and their CdS/WS 2 composites. The absorption edge of WS 2 and CdS appear near 320 and 500 nm, respectively, indicating that the pristine crystal structures were maintained. , Compared with the pure CdS phase, the optical absorption peaks of the CdS/WS 2 composite show a slight red shift, which can be attributed to agglomeration caused by the relative weight changes in the CdS/WS 2 composites . With the increase of the WS 2 content, the absorption peak intensities of the composite samples increased, possibly due to the interaction of CdS and WS 2 in the composites …”

This study reports the synthesis of CdS/WS2 composites via a green and ultra-low-cost hydrothermal method. By controlling the relative mass ratio between WS2 and CdS, an n–n type CdS/WS2 heterostructure, with excellent NH3 gas-sensitive properties, was developed and investigated at room temperature. Compared with pristine WS2 and CdS, the CdS/WS2-40%wt composite exhibited excellent selectivity of more than 4 orders of magnitude for sensing NH3, a very short recovery time of 3 s, and ultrahigh selectivity at room temperature. The large specific surface area of the CdS/WS2 composite increased the active sites for the gas-sensitive reaction. Additionally, the 2D morphology of CdS/WS2 and the heterojunction formed between WS2 and CdS contributed to the improved performance. Anti-humidity interference tests showed that the CdS/WS2 sample remained stable under real-time monitoring of NH3 at different ambient humidity values. This study paves the way for designing high-performance gas sensors operating at room temperature.
