2D SnS2—A Material for Impedance-Based Low Temperature NOx Sensing?

The sensor signal of tin disulfide (SnS2), a two-dimensional (2D) group-IV dichalcogenide, deposited as a film on a conductometric transducer is investigated at 130 °C. The focus is on the detection of the total NOx concentration. Therefore, the sensor response to NO and NO2 at ppm- and sub-ppm level at low operating temperature is determined. The results show that the sensing device provides a high sensor signal to NO and NO2 even at concentrations of only 390 ppb NOx. Both nitrous components, NO and NO2, yield the same signal, which offers the opportunity to sense the total concentration of NOx.
