Abstract
Abstract Transition metal dichalcogenides have gained considerable interest for vapour sensing applications due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and high sensitivity. Herein, we demonstrate a new self-powered volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor based on asymmetric geometry multi-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) diode. The asymmetric contact geometry of the MoS2 diode induces an internal built-in electric field resulting in self-powering via a photovoltaic response. While illuminated by UV-light, the sensor exhibited a high responsivity of ~60% with a relatively fast response time of ~10 sec to 200 ppm of acetone, without an external bias voltage. The MoS2 VOC diode sensor is a promising candidate for self-powered, fast, portable, and highly-sensitive VOC sensor applications.
