Nanostructured transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like MoS hold promise for gas sensing applications due to their exceptional properties. However, limitations exist in maximizing sensor performance, such as limited active sites for gas interaction and sluggish response/recovery times. This study explores swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation as a strategy to address these challenges in MoS-based NO gas sensors.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how Titanium doping affects the properties of MgSi compounds, focusing on their structure, elasticity, mechanical strength, and thermoelectric performance using first-principle methods.
  • - Findings show that MgTiSi compounds are structurally stable with a cubic phase and semiconducting characteristics, while also confirming their mechanical stability through elastic constant analysis.
  • - Thermodynamic properties are evaluated across temperatures of 100-1500 K, and the thermoelectric performance indicates a promising figure of merit (0.67 at 800 K) for potential applications in energy harvesting and mechanical systems.
