Overview

Ammonia (NH ) potentially harms human health, the ecosystem, industrial and agricultural production, and other fields. Therefore, the detection of NH has broad prospects and important significance. Ti C T is a common MXene material that is great for detecting NH at room temperature because it has a two-dimensional layered structure, a large specific surface area, is easy to functionalize on the surface, is sensitive to gases at room temperature, and is very selective for NH . This review provides a detailed description of the preparation process as well as recent advances in the development of gas-sensing materials based on Ti C T MXene for room-temperature NH detection. It also analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various preparation and synthesis methods for Ti C T MXene's performance. Since the gas-sensitive performance of pure Ti C T MXene regarding NH can be further improved, this review discusses additional composite materials, including metal oxides, conductive polymers, and two-dimensional materials that can be used to improve the sensitivity of pure Ti C T MXene to NH . Furthermore, the present state of research on the NH sensitivity mechanism of Ti C T MXene-based sensors is summarized in this study. Finally, this paper analyzes the challenges and future prospects of Ti C T MXene-based gas-sensitive materials for room-temperature NH detection.
