A material is described for sensing NO2in the gas phase. It has an architecture of type Au/MASnI3/SnO2(where MA stands for methylammonium cation) and was fabricated by first synthesizing Au/MASnI3and then crystallizing SnO2on the surface by calcination. The physical and NO2sensing properties of the composite were examined at room temperature without and with UV (365 nm) illumination, and the NO2-sensing mechanism was studied. The characterization demonstrated the formation of a p-n heterojunction structure between p-MASnI3and n-SnO2. The sensor, best operated at a voltage of 1.1 V at room temperature, displays superior NO2sensing performance. Figures of merit include (a) high response (Rg/Ra= 240 for 5 ppm NO2; where Rgstands for the resistance of a sensor in test gas, and Rastands for the resistance of a sensor in air), (b) fast recovery (about 12 s), (c) excellent selectivity compared to sensors based on the use of SnO2or Au/SnO2only, both at room temperature under UV illumination; (d) a low detection limit (55 ppb), and (e) a linear response between 0.5 and 10 ppm of NO2. The enhanced sensing performance is mainly attributed to the high light absorption capacity of MASnI3, the easy generation and transfer of photo-induced electrons from MASnI3to the conduction band of SnO2, and the catalytic effect of gold nanoparticles.Graphical abstractSchematic of the energy band diagrams of the gold-functionalized MASnI3/SnO2system after equilibrium with UV illumination, by which the enhanced sensing performance for NO2can be explained.
