Room temperature sensing of primary alcohols via polyaniline/zirconium disulphide.

ABSTRACT: Among the primary alcohols, ethanol is referred to as a heavy chemical due to its many applications in a variety of industries. Detection of primary alcohols can be deployed as a non-invasive method in medical diagnosis and safety measures in food processing companies. Zirconium disulphide is a novel 2D layered material with exotic features when in mono or few layers, which include fast electron transport, high carrier mobility and sizeable band gap. ZrS₂ and PANI were fabricated using liquid exfoliation and chemical polymerization methods respectively. Functionalization of the conducting polyaniline with ZrS₂ was done using facile sonication process. The sensor showed good sensitivities (43%, 58% and 104%) which were estimated from slopes of the linear fitted plots w
