“…The SnX 2 (X = S, Se)-based gas sensors show a good response to NO 2 at room temperature [6][7][8]. Furthermore, the SnSe 2 monolayer shows a higher sensitivity for NO 2 molecule adsorption than SnS 2 in our related work [7,8]. Also, the charge transfers and the flat band contributed by gas adsorption induces the conductivity difference of the SnSe 2 monolayer reported in our previous study [8].…”

We report the interaction between gas molecules (NO2 and NH3) and the SnSe2 monolayers with vacancy and dopants (O and N) for potential applications as gas sensors. Compared with the gas molecular adsorbed on pristine SnSe2 monolayer, the Se-vacancy SnSe2 monolayer obviously enhances sensitivity to NO2 adsorption. The O-doped SnSe2 monolayer shows similar sensitivity to the pristine SnSe2 monolayer when adsorbing NO2 molecule. However, only the N-doped SnSe2 monolayer represents a visible enhancement for NO2 and NH3 adsorption. This work reveals that the selectivity and sensitivity of SnSe2-based gas sensors could be improved by introducing the vacancy or dopants.

“…Zhang et al have demonstrated a self-assembled SnS 2 nanoflower/Zn 2 SnO 4 hollow sphere nanohybrid device, exhibiting excellent humidity sensing properties 20 . Recently, Yan et al fabricated NO 2 gas sensor based on CVD grown SnS 2 with ultra-high sensitivity by utilizing inherent defects under photoillumination 21 . Although, there are many reports on SnS 2 based devices for humidity and gas sensing, the quest is always on for fabrication of devices with properties such as large area with simple designs, self-powered, ultrasensitive and room temperature humidity sensing.…”

“…There are several techniques to obtain low-dimensional SnS 2 thin films. Exfoliation, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), hydrothermal and solvothermal synthesis, and sputtering have been extensively used for fabricating nanofilm based devices [20][21][22][23][24] . However, exfoliation of nanoflakes and growth of thin films by CVD result in thin films whose sizes are in the range of few μm, thus hindering the large-scale growth optimum for industrial scale applications.…”

Humidity monitoring has become extremely vital in various technological fields such as environment control, biomedical engineering, and so on. therefore, a substantial interest lies in the development of fast and highly sensitive devices with high figures of merit. Self-powered and ultrasensitive humidity sensors based on SnS 2 nanofilms of different film thicknesses have been demonstrated in this work. The sensing behavior has been investigated in the relative humidity (RH) range of 2-99%. The observed results reveal a remarkable response and ultrafast detection even with zero applied bias (self-powered mode), with response and recovery times of ~ 10 and ~ 0.7 s, respectively. The self-powered behavior has been attributed to the inhomogeneities and the asymmetry in the contact electrodes. The highest sensitivity of ~ 5.64 × 10 6 % can be achieved at an applied bias of 5 V. This approach of fabricating such highly responsive, self-powered and ultrafast sensors with simple device architectures will be useful for designing futuristic sensing devices.

Air pollution is a global problem, which poses serious environmental concerns and health risks. In light of this, a key aspect of the challenge of managing air pollution is effective monitoring, which requires reliable high‐sensitivity sensors with strong selectivity and long‐term stability. Layered materials represent an emergent class of materials with extraordinary electronic properties and physicochemical properties, and, therefore, are a highly attractive prospect for this field. Here, such a sensor for NO2 based on GaSe is presented. An ultrahigh sensitivity of 0.5 part per billion (p.p.b.) is achieved at room temperature, and the NO2 selectivity ratios with respect to other likely interfering environmental gases are larger than 100. Moreover, no great degradation is observed after 10 days of air exposure. As a practical demonstration, the GaSe‐based sensors are also used to detect vehicle exhaust emission, and wearable GaSe‐based NO2 sensors are presented and tested. Based on the results obtained in this work, it is believed that GaSe‐based sensors can be used for the detection of NO2 in real‐world applications.
