As an atomically thin electric conductor with a low density of highly mobile charge carriers, graphene is suitable transducer for molecular adsorption. In this study, we demonstrate that the adsorption properties can be significantly enhanced laser-deposited TiO2 nanolayer on top single-layer CVD graphene, whereas effective transfer between TiO2-adsorbed gas molecules and retained through interface. The formation such heterostructure optimally monolayer thick oxide combined ultraviolet irradiation (wavelength 365 nm, intensity <1 mW/mm2) dramatically enhances gas-sensing properties. It provides outstanding sensitivity detecting NO2 in range few ppb to hundred ppb-s air, response times below 30 s at room temperature. effect visible light (436 546 nm) was much weaker, indicating excitations due absorption play essential role, while characteristics responses imply involvement both photoinduced desorption. sensing mechanism confirmed by theoretical simulations NO2@Ti8O16C50 complex under periodic boundary conditions. proposed sensor structure has significant additional merits, as relative insensitivity other polluting gases (CO, SO2, NH3) air humidity, well long-term stability (>2 years) ambient air. results pave way emerging class structures based stacked 2D materials incorporating charge-sensitive selective receptor layers.
