Abstract The main gas‐sensing mechanisms of 2D materials are surface charge transfer by analytes and Schottky barrier (SB) modulation at the interface between metallic semiconducting surfaces. In particular, dramatic differences in performances originate from SB modulation. However, sites typically exist only channel material metal electrode. Herein, situ formed multiple SBs a single demonstrated, which derived heterojunction Ti 3 C 2 TiO . stark contrast with previous techniques,...
This study provides a significant enhancement in CO2 photoconversion efficiency by the functionalization of reduced graphene oxide/cadmium sulfide composite (rGO/CdS) with amine.
