Abstract:
High-performance SnO2-based chemiresistive gas sensors were realized at room temperature by narrowing the bandgap to enhance photogenerated carrier separation. The resulting SnO2- exhibited one of the highest responses and lowest LODs among room-temperature and light-activated NO2 sensors. This work offers a promising strategy for next-generation, low-power gas sensing applications.
