To solve this, a 2D-MoS2\/1D-CuPc heterojunction was prepared with different weight ratios of MoS2 nanosheets to CuPc micro-nanowires, and its room-temperature gas-sensing properties were studied. The response of the 2D-MoS2\/1D-CuPc heterojunction to a target gas was related to the weight ratio of MoS2 to CuPc. When the weight ratio of MoS2 to CuPc was 20:7 (7-CM), the gas sensitivity of MoS2\/CuPc composites was the best. Compared with the pure MoS2 sensor, the responses of 7-CM to 1000 ppm formaldehyde (CH2O), acetone (C3H6O), ethanol (C2H6O), and 98% RH increased by 122.7, 734.6, 1639.8, and 440.5, respectively. The response of the heterojunction toward C2H6O was twice that of C3H6O and 13 times that of CH2O. In addition, the response time of all sensors was less than 60 s, and the recovery time was less than 10 s. These results provide an experimental reference for the development of high-performance MoS2-based gas sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23239321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]],"date-time":"2023-11-22T04:21:27Z","timestamp":1700626887000},"page":"9321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Preparation and Gas-Sensing Properties of Two-Dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide\/One-Dimensional Copper Phthalocyanine Heterojunction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Guoqing","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Energy and Materials Research, Xinjiang Institute of Engineering, Urumqi 830023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaojie","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Energy and Materials Research, Xinjiang Institute of Engineering, Urumqi 830023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Energy and Materials Research, Xinjiang Institute of Engineering, Urumqi 830023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4855-2651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Talgar","family":"Shaymurat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Energy and Materials Research, Xinjiang Institute of Engineering, Urumqi 830023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132131","DOI":"10.1016\/j.snb.2022.132131","article-title":"Light-activated ultrasensitive NO2 gas sensor based on heterojunctions of CuO nanospheres\/MoS2 nanosheets at room temperature","volume":"368","author":"Haineng","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sens.
