Abstract
Exploring novel sensing materials enabling selective discrimination of trace ambient H2S at lower temperature is of utmost importance for diverse practical applications. Herein, heterostructural (Sr0.6Bi0.305)2Bi2O7/ZnO (SBO/ZnO) nanomaterials were proposed. Synergetic effect of promoting analyte adsorption (via multiplying oxygen vacancy defects) and reversible sulfuration-desulfuration reaction induced unique band alignment among SBO/ZnO/ZnS, contributes to the sensitive and selective response toward H2S molecules. Novel SBO/ZnO (10%) sensor possesses excellent sensing H2S performances, including a high response (107.6 for 10 ppm), low limit of detection of 20 ppb, good selectivity and long-term stability. Together with the merits of low operation temperature of 75 °C and weak humidity dependence (endowed by the hydrophobic SBO), present heterostructural SBO/ZnO sensor paves the way for the practical monitoring of trace H2S pollutants in diverse workplaces including petroleum and natural gas industries.
