Synergetic Phase Modulation and N‐Doping of MoS2 for Highly Sensitive Flexible NO2 Sensors by Jiyun Kim, Mengyao Li, Chun‐Ho Lin, Long Hu, Tao Wan, Ayad Saeed, Peiyuan Guan, Zijian Feng, Tushar Kumeria, Jianbo Tang, Dawei Su, Tom Wu, Dewei Chu

“…Comprehensive experimental investigations reveal mechanisms underlying this record sensitivity, that is, the use of N‐doped 2H MoS2 sensors not only significantly suppresses dark current but also effectively enhances electron transfer to NO2 molecules. Moreover, density function theory calculations underpin the experimental results, confirming that N2H4 molecules from the precursor solution not only promote phase transition but also enable N‐doping during post‐treatments, thus boosting sensing capability. …”
