A Highly Selective and Self‐Powered Gas Sensor Via Organic Surface Functionalization of p‐Si/n‐ZnO Diodes

Selectivity and low power consumption are major challenges in the development of sophisticated gas sensor devices. A sensor system is presented that unifies selective sensor-gas interactions and energy-harvesting properties, using defined organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Simulations of chemical-binding interactions and the consequent electronic surface modulation give more insight into the complex sensing mechanism of selective gas detection.
