Abstract

AbstractTwo‐dimensional materials are excellent candidates for effective gas detection due to the large surface‐volume ratio, however the controllability to adsorb/desorb the gas molecules for recycling use is still a big challenge. In this study, different from previous strategies to modulate gas adsorption behavior via strain and external electric field, a novel approach to achieve gas adsorption control via ferroelectric (FE) switching is proposed. From first principle simulations, it is found that gas molecule adsorptions on Fe and Mn doped defective graphene can be well controlled when it is placed on the surface of FE In2Se3. The adsorption energies and charge transfer can be significantly modulated when the polarization is reversed, due to the polarization dependent electron redistribution and band state shifts near the Fermi level. The hypothesis of the FE controlled gas adsorption is further supported by the adsorption variations under the electric field. These findings provide feasible approaches and design principles for the next generation gas sensors.
