Organic–Inorganic Composite Nanofibers Based on YSZ Nanofibers Anchored PANI / SnS ₂ Heterojunction for Flexible Room Temperature NO ₂ Sensor

Traditional inorganic semiconductor gas sensors operate at elevated temperatures and exhibit inherent rigidity and brittleness, thereby limiting their application in wearable electronics. Herein, organic–inorganic YSZ@PANI/SnS 2 heterojunction composite nanofiber film are fabricated through a sequential process involving electrospinning, oxidative polymerization, and hydrothermal treatment. Benefited from the employment of PANI interfacial layer, biomimetic “branch‐leaf” structure featuring vertically grown, network‐like SnS 2 nanosheets, the stress and energy are dispersed and dissipate effectively, therefore enhance the mechanical flexibility. Simultaneously, the vertically staggered SnS 2 nanosheets accelerating the gas diffusion/transmission and providing abundant active sites. The formation of PANI/SnS 2 heterojunction, which endows the composite with elevated conductivity, reaction activity, and carrier transport separation efficiency. At room temperature (RT, 25 °C), the device exhibits high response value and response/recovery times of 9.35 and 12/25 s to 2 ppm NO 2 , respectively. Furthermore, the device maintains satisfactory responsiveness even under bending conditions. This research presents a promising novel approach for fabricating organic–inorganic composite nanofibers, which may contributes to the development of flexible RT gas sensors.
