We developed an efficient method to co-exfoliate graphite and MoS2 to fabricate graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite. The size, morphology, and crystal structure of the graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite were carefully examined. The as-prepared graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite was fabricated into thin film sensor by a facile drop casting method and tested with methanol gas in various concentrations. The sensitivity, response time, and repeatability of the graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite sensor towards methanol gas were systematically investigated. A pure MoS2− based thin film sensor was also prepared and compared with the nanocomposite sensor to better understand the synergetic effect in the sensing performance. Our research demonstrated that compositing MoS2 with graphene could overcome the shortcoming of MoS2 as a sensor material and bring in a promising gas-sensing performance with a quicker response/recovery time and an enhanced sensitivity. Moreover, this composited material with a distinct structure and an excellent electronic property is expected to have potential application in various fields, such as optoelectronic.

The porous Pd-loaded In2O3 hollow spheres were successfully prepared by simple one-step method with the template of carbon spheres. The effect of calcination temperatures on morphology, composition and gas sensing performance of the as-obtained products was discussed by a series of test methods. The sample calcined at 550∘C showed uniform porous hollow spheres with an average diameter of 100[Formula: see text]nm. Gas-sensing results exhibited that the Pd-In2O3 hollow spheres-based sensor possessed excellent sensing properties to formaldehyde, which include high response value (33), low working temperature (180∘C) and fast response and recovery time (12[Formula: see text]s and 22[Formula: see text]s). The enhanced HCHO-sensing properties of Pd-In2O3 composites were attributed to the special porous and hollow structure, abundant oxygen vacancies and the catalysis of palladium. Pd-loaded In2O3 hollow spheres had been proved to be an ideal material for detecting HCHO at a low working temperature.

AbstractChemi-resistive sensors based on hybrid functional materials are promising candidates for gas sensing with high responsivity, good selectivity, fast response/recovery, great stability/repeatability, room-working temperature, low cost, and easy-to-fabricate, for versatile applications. This progress report reviews the advantages and advances of these sensing structures compared with the single constituent, according to five main sensing forms: manipulating/constructing heterojunctions, catalytic reaction, charge transfer, charge carrier transport, molecular binding/sieving, and their combinations. Promises and challenges of the advances of each form are presented and discussed. Critical thinking and ideas regarding the orientation of the development of hybrid material-based gas sensor in the future are discussed.

TiO2hollow microspheres were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by the XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and UV-vis. The results showed that the TiO2hollow microspheres offered an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the multiple reflections of the UV light within the inner hollow structure.

Hierarchical flower-like WO3 · H2O microspheres assembled by nanosheets were successfully prepared through a simple hydrothermal route. Field emission scanning electron microscopy results indicate that the flower-like WO3 · H2O microspheres are composed of numerous nanosheets, which are interconnected with each other in the sphere shape. In addition, the gas sensing properties of the hierarchical WO3 · H2O microspheres were investigated. It is found that the gas sensor based on the hierarchical WO3 · H2O architectures exhibits excellent gas sensing properties towards H2S gas, including high gas response and fast response/recovery speed.
