Superior Room-Temperature Ammonia Sensing Using a Hydrothermally Synthesized MoS2/SnO2 Composite.

Project description:Layered two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, due to their semiconducting nature and large surface-to-volume ratio, have created their own niche in the field of gas sensing. Their large recovery time and accompanied incomplete recovery result in inferior sensing properties. Here, we report a composite-based strategy to overcome these issues. In this study, we report a facile double-step synthesis of a MoS2/SnO2 composite and its successful use as a superior room-temperature ammonia sensor. Contrary to the pristine nanosheet-based sensors, the devices made using the composite display superior gas sensing characteristics with faster response. Specifically, at room temperature (30° C), the composite-based sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity (10%) at an ammonia concentration down to 0.4 ppm along with the response and recovery times of 2 and 10 s, respectively. Moreover, the device also exhibited long-term durability, reproducibility, and selectivity toward ammonia against hydrogen sulfide, methanol, ethanol, benzene, acetone, and formaldehyde. Sensor devices made on quartz and alumina substrates with different roughnesses have yielded almost an identical response, except for slight variations in response and recovery transients. Further, to shed light on the underlying adsorption energetics and selectivity, density functional theory simulations were employed. The improved response and enhanced selectivity of the composite were explicitly discussed in terms of adsorption energy. Lowdin charge analysis was performed to understand the charge transfer mechanism between NH3, H2S, CH3OH, HCHO, and the underlying MoS2/SnO2 composite surface. The long-term durability of the sensor was evident from the stable response curves even after 2 months. These results indicate that hydrothermally synthesized MoS2/SnO2 composite-based gas sensors can be used as a promising sensing material for monitoring ammonia gas in real fields.

MoS2 Nanosheets Sensitized with Quantum Dots for Room-Temperature Gas Sensors.

Project description:The Internet of things for environment monitoring requires high performance with low power-consumption gas sensors which could be easily integrated into large-scale sensor network. While semiconductor gas sensors have many advantages such as excellent sensitivity and low cost, their application is limited by their high operating temperature. Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, typically molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets, are emerging as promising gas-sensing materials candidates owing to their abundant edge sites and high in-plane carrier mobility. This work aims to overcome the sluggish and weak response as well as incomplete recovery of MoS2 gas sensors at room temperature by sensitizing MoS2 nanosheets with PbS quantum dots (QDs). The huge amount of surface dangling bonds of QDs enables them to be ideal receptors for gas molecules. The sensitized MoS2 gas sensor exhibited fast and recoverable response when operated at room temperature, and the limit of NO2 detection was estimated to be 94 ppb. The strategy of sensitizing 2D nanosheets with sensitive QD receptors may enhance receptor and transducer functions as well as the utility factor that determine the sensor performance, offering a powerful new degree of freedom to the surface and interface engineering of semiconductor gas sensors.

Nickel nanoparticle-activated MoS2 for efficient visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Direct sunlight-induced water splitting for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is the dream for an ultimate clean energy source. So far, typical photocatalysts require complicated synthetic processes and barely work without additives or electrolytes. Here, we report the realization of a hydrogen evolution strategy with a novel Ni-Ag-MoS2 ternary nanocatalyst under visible/sun light. Synthesized through an ultrasound-assisted wet method, the composite exhibits stable catalytic activity for long-term hydrogen production from both pure and natural water. A high efficiency of 73 μmol g-1 W-1 h-1 is achieved with only a visible light source and the (MoS2)84Ag10Ni6 catalyst, matching the values of present additive-enriched photocatalysts. Verified by experimental characterizations and first-principles calculations, the enhanced photocatalytic ability is attributed to effective charge migration through the dangling bonds at the Ni-Ag-MoS2 alloy interface and the activation of the MoS2 basal planes.

Enabling room temperature ferromagnetism in monolayer MoS2 via in situ iron-doping.

Project description:Two-dimensional semiconductors, including transition metal dichalcogenides, are of interest in electronics and photonics but remain nonmagnetic in their intrinsic form. Previous efforts to form two-dimensional dilute magnetic semiconductors utilized extrinsic doping techniques or bulk crystal growth, detrimentally affecting uniformity, scalability, or Curie temperature. Here, we demonstrate an in situ substitutional doping of Fe atoms into MoS2 monolayers in the chemical vapor deposition growth. The iron atoms substitute molybdenum sites in MoS2 crystals, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and Raman signatures. We uncover an Fe-related spectral transition of Fe:MoS2 monolayers that appears at 2.28?eV above the pristine bandgap and displays pronounced ferromagnetic hysteresis. The microscopic origin is further corroborated by density functional theory calculations of dipole-allowed transitions in Fe:MoS2. Using spatially integrating magnetization measurements and spatially resolving nitrogen-vacancy center magnetometry, we show that Fe:MoS2 monolayers remain magnetized even at ambient conditions, manifesting ferromagnetism at room temperature.

MoS2 Nanosheet Arrays Rooted on Hollow rGO Spheres as Bifunctional Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst and Supercapacitor Electrode.

Project description:MoS2 has attracted attention as a promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst and a supercapacitor electrode material. However, its catalytic activity and capacitive performance are still hindered by its aggregation and poor intrinsic conductivity. Here, hollow rGO sphere-supported ultrathin MoS2 nanosheet arrays (h-rGO@MoS2) are constructed via a dual-template approach and employed as bifunctional HER catalyst and supercapacitor electrode material. Because of the expanded interlayer spacing in MoS2 nanosheets and more exposed electroactive S-Mo-S edges, the constructed h-rGO@MoS2 architectures exhibit enhanced HER performance. Furthermore, benefiting from the synergistic effect of the improved conductivity and boosted specific surface areas (144.9 m2 g-1, ca. 4.6-times that of pristine MoS2), the h-rGO@MoS2 architecture shows a high specific capacitance (238 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1), excellent rate capacitance, and remarkable cycle stability. Our synthesis method may be extended to construct other vertically aligned hollow architectures, which may serve both as efficient HER catalysts and supercapacitor electrodes.

Room-Temperature Solid-State Lithium-Ion Battery Using a LiBH4-MgO Composite Electrolyte.

Project description:LiBH4 has been widely studied as a solid-state electrolyte in Li-ion batteries working at 120 °C due to the low ionic conductivity at room temperature. In this work, by mixing with MgO, the Li-ion conductivity of LiBH4 has been improved. The optimum composition of the mixture is 53 v/v % of MgO, showing a Li-ion conductivity of 2.86 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 20 °C. The formation of the composite does not affect the electrochemical stability window, which is similar to that of pure LiBH4 (about 2.2 V vs Li+/Li). The mixture has been incorporated as the electrolyte in a TiS2/Li all-solid-state Li-ion battery. A test at room temperature showed that only five cycles already resulted in cell failure. On the other hand, it was possible to form a stable solid electrolyte interphase by applying several charge/discharge cycles at 60 °C. Afterward, the battery worked at room temperature for up to 30 cycles with a capacity retention of about 80%.

Metal organic framework derived NaCoxOy for room temperature hydrogen sulfide removal.

Project description:Novel NaCoxOy adsorbents were fabricated by air calcination of (Na,Co)-organic frameworks at 700 °C. The NaCoxOy crystallized as hexagonal microsheets of 100-200 nm thickness with the presence of some polyhedral nanocrystals. The surface area was in the range of 1.15-1.90 m2 g-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed Co2+ and Co3+ sites in MOFs, which were preserved in NaCoxOy. The synthesized adsorbents were studied for room-temperature H2S removal in both dry and moist conditions. NaCoxOy adsorbents were found ~ 80 times better than the MOF precursors. The maximum adsorption capacity of 168.2 mg g-1 was recorded for a 500 ppm H2S concentration flowing at a rate of 0.1 L min-1. The adsorption capacity decreased in the moist condition due to the competitive nature of water molecules for the H2S-binding sites. The PXRD analysis predicted Co3S4, CoSO4, Co3O4, and Co(OH)2 in the H2S-exposed sample. The XPS analysis confirmed the formation of sulfide, sulfur, and sulfate as the products of H2S oxidation at room temperature. The work reported here is the first study on the use of NaCoxOy type materials for H2S remediation.

High permeability sub-nanometre sieve composite MoS2 membranes.

Project description:Two-dimensional membranes have gained enormous interest due to their potential to deliver precision filtration of species with performance that can challenge current desalination membrane platforms. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) laminar membranes have recently demonstrated superior stability in aqueous environment to their extensively-studied analogs graphene-based membranes; however, challenges such as low ion rejection for high salinity water, low water flux, and low stability over time delay their potential adoption as a viable technology. Here, we report composite laminate multilayer MoS2 membranes with stacked heterodimensional one- to two-layer-thick porous nanosheets and nanodisks. These membranes have a multimodal porous network structure with tunable surface charge, pore size, and interlayer spacing. In forward osmosis, our membranes reject more than 99% of salts at high salinities and, in reverse osmosis, small-molecule organic dyes and salts are efficiently filtered. Finally, our membranes stably operate for over a month, implying their potential for use in commercial water purification applications.

Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor with Pd/ZnO Bilayer Structure for Room Temperature Hydrogen Detection.

Project description:A Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) hydrogen sensor with a Pd/ZnO bilayer structure for room temperature sensing operation has been obtained by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The sensor structure combines a Pd layer with optimized porosity for maximizing mass effects, with the large acoustoelectric effect at the Pd/ZnO interface. The large acoustoelectric effect is due to the fact that ZnO has a surface conductivity which is highly sensitive to chemisorbed gases. The sensitivity of the sensor was determined for hydrogen concentrations between 0.2% and 2%. The limit of detection (LOD) of the bilayer sensor was about 4.5 times better than the single ZnO films and almost twice better than single Pd films.

Hydrogen adsorption on doped MoS2 nanostructures.

Project description:Electrochemical devices for efficient production of hydrogen as energy carrier rely still largely on rare platinum group metal catalysts. Chemically and structurally modified metal dichalcogenide MoS2 is a promising substitute for these critical raw materials at the cathode side where the hydrogen evolution reaction takes place. For precise understanding of structure and hydrogen adsorption characteristics in chemically modified MoS2 nanostructures, we perform comprehensive density functional theory calculations on transition metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) doping at the experimentally relevant MoS2 surfaces at substitutional Mo-sites. Clear benefits of doping the basal plane are found, whereas at the Mo- and S-edges complex modifications at the whole edge are observed. New insight into doping-enhanced activity is obtained and guidance is given for further experiments. We study a machine learning model to facilitate the screening of suitable structures and find a promising level of prediction accuracy with minimal structural input.
