Real-time and high-performance monitoring of trace carbon dioxide (CO) has become a necessity due to its substantial impact on the global climate, human health, indoor occupancy, and crop productivity. Two-dimensional materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have gained significant interest in gas sensing applications owing to their intrinsically high surface-to-volume ratio. However, the research has been limited to prominent TMDs such as WS and MoS.

In this study, we investigate the temperature-dependent photodetection properties of titanium trisulfide (TiS)- in order to develop high-performance photodetectors that can operate across a wide range of temperatures (77 K-543 K). We fabricate a solid-state photodetector using the dielectrophoresis technique, which demonstrates a quick response (response/recovery time ~0.

Hence, there is a need for low-power and low-cost CO sensors for efficient monitoring and sensing of CO analyte molecules in the environment. This study reports on the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that are functionalized using polyethyleneimine and starch (PEI-starch) in order to fabricate a PEI-starch functionalized SWCNT sensor for reversible CO detection under ambient room conditions ( = 25 °C; RH = 53%).
