In Situ Self-Oxidation
of Few-Layered Nb2CTx Nanosheets
in Aqueous Solution for
Achieving Improved Humidity Sensitivity and Selectivity
Posted on 2023-09-19 - 04:13
MXenes with numerous superior properties have great potential
for
portable and conformal humidity sensing, which can meet the ever-increasing
requirements for noncontact medical diagnosis, noninvasive epidermal
detection, and environmental monitoring. Due to the ambiguous mechanism,
the absence of an efficient approach for improving the sensitivity
and selectivity remains a big obstacle for realization of MXene-based
humidity sensing. In this work, the evolution of humidity sensing
mechanisms of few-layered Nb2CTx nanosheets before and after self-oxidation in aqueous solutions
are clarified depending on a systematic comparison. The evolution
of structure and chemical bonds in few-layered Nb2CTx nanosheets after different incubation durations
has been investigated to understand the in situ self-oxidation process
and establish the relationship between the oxidation degree and humidity
sensing performance. Meanwhile, the humidity sensing mechanism of
sensors for different few-layered Nb2CTx nanosheets has been also clarified, and the humidity sensitivity
has been optimized to −2.3 × 104 with a relative
humidity of 53%. Compared with the sensor prepared from as-prepared
few-layered Nb2CTx nanosheets,
the humidity sensing selectivity from oxidized few-layered Nb2CTx nanosheets has been improved,
contributed to by the transformation of the sensing mechanism from
electronic conduction to ionic conduction. Finally, the oxidized few-layered
Nb2CTx nanosheets have been
prepared on a PI substrate to demonstrate its application in a flexible
humidity sensor, providing a facile solution for ultrasensitive wearable
gas sensing.
