Abstract
The development of a highly selective and trace-level gas sensing platform for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) remains a formidable challenge. To solve this problem, Co-Mo multimetal oxide semiconductors are rationally tailored by employing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as self-sacrificial templates. The MOF-derived Co3O4/β-CoMoO4 based gas sensors displays high sensitivity (Rg/Ra = 22) to 10 ppm of H2S and ultralow limit of detection (10 ppb H2S). The formation of p-p heterojunction and multivalence states of Mo play a crucial role in electron transfer and oxygen adsorption. A sensor array constructed from four Co3O4/β-CoMoO4 materials with different Co/Mo ratios demonstrates a superior selective discrimination of H2S from other VOCs and malodorous gases by principal component analysis (PCA). Besides, a H2S gas sensing and alarming platform was designed for monitoring the environment contaminated with H2S. This finding provides a feasible approach for the discovery of highly efficient gas sensors to monitor environmental H2S concentration.
