Although two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit attractive prospects for gas-sensing applications, the rapid and precise sensing of TMDs at low loss remains challenging. Herein, a NO2 sensor based on an expanded VS2 (VS2-E)/carbon nanofibers (CNFs) composite (abbreviated as VS2-E-C) with ultrafast response/recovery at a low-loss state is reported. In particular, the impact of the CNF content on the NO2-sensing performance of VS2-E-C was thoroughly explored. Expanded VS2 nanosheets were grafted onto the surface of hollow CNFs, and the combination boosted the charge transport, exposing abundant active edges of VS2, which enhanced the adsorption of NO2 efficiently. The activity of the VS2 edge is further confirmed by stronger NO2 adsorption with a more negative adsorption energy (-3.42 eV) and greater than the basal VS2 surface (-1.26 eV). Moreover, the exposure of rich edges induced the emergence of the expanded interlayers, which promoted the adsorption/desorption of NO2 and the interaction of gas molecules within VS2-E-C. The synergism of edge effect and interlayer engineering confers the VS2-E-C3 sensor with ultrafast response/recovery speed (9/10 s) at 60 °C, high sensitivity (â¼2.50 to 15 ppm NO2), good selectivity/stability, and a low detection limit of 23 ppb. The excellent "4S" functions indicate the promising prospect of the VS2-E-C3 sensor for fast and precise NO2 detection at low-loss condition.
