Towards the Nanosheet‐Based Photonic Nose: Vapor Recognition and Trace Water Sensing with Antimony Phosphate Thin Film Devices

Abstract

A 2D nanosheet-based photonic nose for vapor identification is presented. A HSbP2 O8 nanosheet thin-film sensor with resistive readout is developed for the tracking of trace amounts of water, and a photonic HSbP2 O8 /TiO2 multilayer structure is effective at optically distinguishing between chemically similar solvent vapors through analyte-specific host-guest interactions.
