Abstract

Metal oxide-based gas sensor technology is promising due to their practical applications in toxic and hazardous gas detection. Orthorhombic α-MoO3 is a planar metal oxide with a unique layered structure, which can be obtained in a two-dimensional (2D) form. In the 2D form, the larger surface area-to-volume ratio of the material facilitates significantly higher interaction with gas molecules while exhibiting exceptional transport properties. The presence of oxygen vacancies results in nonstoichiometric MoO3 (MoO3-x), which further enhances the charge carrier mobility. Here, we study dual gas sensing characteristics and mechanism of 2D α-MoO3-x. Herein, conductometric dual gas sensors based on..
