摘要

A novel gas sensor based on CH3NH3Pb(I1 − xBrx)3 (MAPb(I1 − xBrx)3) perovskite materials was prepared to achieve the detection of NH3 gas at room temperature of 25℃. The TiO2 nanorod arrays were first synthesized on FTO glass through the hydrothermal method, and then MAPb(I1 − xBrx)3 perovskite films were fabricated using a one-step spin-coating technique. Following Br doping, the morphology of the MAPb(I1 − xBrx)3 perovskite film transitions from a dendritic to a tubular structure, leading to enhanced film quality and crystallinity. The gas-sensing test results demonstrate that the response of the MAPb(I0.85Br0.15)3 sensor to 100 ppm ammonia is 36.8%, which is 1.9 times higher than that of the MAPbI3 sensor at room temperature. The adsorption energy of MAPb(I1 − xBrx)3 on ammonia was calculated through first-principles calculations. The results indicated that Br ions doping could enhance the adsorption capacity of MAPb(I1 − xBrx)3 to ammonia molecules. The adsorption of ammonia by the MAPb(I1 − xBrx)3 sensor is primarily attributed to ammonia molecules entering the octahedral center of the perovskite crystal, where they replace the MA+ cations and form NH4Pb(I1 − xBrx)3·MA intermediate compounds through a weak interaction akin to a chemical bond.
