Abstract Trace NO 2 detection is essential for the production and life, where sensing strategy appropriate rapid but lacks molecular specificity. This investigation proposes a mechanism dominated by surface-scattering to achieve molecularly-specific detection. Two-dimensional Bi O Se firstly fabricated into Schottky-junction-based gas-sensor. Applied with an alternating excitation, sensor simultaneously outputs multiple response signals (i.e., resistance, reactance, impedance angle). Their...
