Abstract

This study investigates the gas sensing properties of Pt–modified ZrS2 monolayers for seven harmful environmental gases (CO, H2S, NH3, NO, NO2, SO2, and SO3) using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption structures, charge transfer, band structures, density of states, sensitivity, and recovery times are systematically analyzed. The results reveal that Pt modification significantly enhances the gas adsorption capability of ZrS2, leading to notable changes in its electronic properties. For Pt@ZrS2, the adsorption of gases such as CO, H2S, NH3, NO, SO2, and SO3 increases the band gap, which reduces conductivity, whereas NO2 causes a decrease in the band gap, enhancing conductivity. In contrast, Pt-doped…
