Abstract:
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskite PbTiO3 is an important ferroelectric material with spontaneous polarization below Curie temperature and readily adsorbs oxygen molecules in the atmosphere, a preliminary step for NH3 response. However, the surface of 2D PbTiO3 lacks enough active adsorption sites for NH3 gas. Here, 2D PbTiO3 nanoplates (NLs) with highly polarized (0 0 1) plane was synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal strategy without templates and surfactants, and Ag+ ions on (0 0 1) plane were further in-situ reduced by an impregnation method. Specially, the negatively polarized surface (ζ (zeta potential) = −22.3 mV) for (0 0 1) plane promoted the reduction of Ag+ ions in AgNO3 solution to Ag0 nanoparticles (NPs). Where, Ag NPs with high density on (0 0 1) plane can produce spillover effect, promoting adsorption of O2 in air and subsequent formation of O2−. The response of PbTiO3-based gas sensor to 100 ppm NH3 is 3.6 at room temperature (25 °C), while the response is improved by 2.6 times on 1.5 at% Ag/PbTiO3 NLs with Schottky junctions. Even at 15 °C, the response reaches to 6. The ammonia sensor based on Ag/PbTiO3 NFs is verified with high sensitivity, fast response-recovery and distinct selectivity at low operating temperature. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
