Abstract:
Sulfur dioxide (SO
2) is a hazardous air pollutant with significant implications for the environment and human health.Traditional detection methods for SO
2 are challenged by limitations such as poor specificity and high operational costs.This study introduces an innovative approach for SO
2 detection using chemiresistive sensors composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and 1, 8-bis(tetramethyl-guanidino)naphthalene with highly active protonized guanidino ionic groups through vdW interface heterostructure.This carbon nanotube composite sensing film serves as the core to construct a chemiresistive gas sensor, the developed sensors demonstrate a low detection limit of 12.8 ppb for SO
2 at room temperature along with high specificity to common gases such as NO
2 and CO
2, offering a costeffective, highly sensitive, and specific solution for SO
2 detection.
